taking the reins of power, we thought her entry was incredibly daunting. well, for rishi sunak it is even worse because the economic picture has got worse, the cost of living pressures haven't gone away, and it does feel like when he walks behind that black door later this morning, he will be doing so with the most daunting in tray in modern times. inflation is high. that has always been something he has warned about. the fact that economic growth is just not happening about. the fact that economic growth isjust not happening in about. the fact that economic growth is just not happening in the way that he promised when he was chancellor. he needs to turn that around. and at the same time, although we see him there looking really happy with all his mps, although we see him there looking really happy with all his mp5, i think he is going to face a really difficult time trying to balance the need to get the fiscal picture under control, basically to balance the books and plug the big black hole in the country's finances with making sure the most vulnerable are helped through the cost of living crisis.

so, this is a big day for rishi sunak. it is the crowning moment of his political career, seven year political career, by the way. he has only been an mp for a few years. but i imagine there are a lot of nerves this morning aboutjust how big the challenge is. that is before we even get in to try to balance all the 55,171.45? as. eé’m’ahgs'l” ”' ’ " bit: £5 demands, the fractious competing demands, the fractious conservative party.— competing demands, the fractious conservative party. let's talk about that. he conservative party. let's talk about that- he has _ conservative party. let's talk about that. he has to _ conservative party. let's talk about that. he has to put _ conservative party. let's talk about that. he has to put a _ conservative party. let's talk about that. he has to put a cabinet - that. he has to put a cabinet together. how does he do that? how does he keep his party together and as he keepjeremy hunt as chancellor? i as he keep jeremy hunt as chancellor?— as he keep jeremy hunt as chancellor? ., �* . . . chancellor? i don't have a concrete answer yet — chancellor? i don't have a concrete answer yet because _ chancellor? i don't have a concrete answer yet because i _ chancellor? i don't have a concrete answer yet because i think - chancellor? i don't have a concrete answer yet because i think rishi i answer yet because i think rishi sunak�*s team i wanted to keep this under wraps until he is through the back door, like liz truss's team. i think it is highly likely that jeremy hunt will remain chancellor, for the simple reason that he has brought a bit of stability to the markets. and i think rishi sunak

will want to continue that. but when it comes to the other top jobs that will sit at the cabinet table from next week, it will be quite tricky, actually, for rishi sunak, because he said he wants to keep the party together the conservative party. so i think you will want to bring in different wings, people from the right. liz truss supporters, boris johnson's allies. he will also want his own people in there. some of the people we have had now on breakfast like dominic raab, people like that, i think they will get a job as well. you often hear this story when it comes to putting your first cabinet together that you have a whiteboard, you move all the pieces around, when one moves, you have to move another to compensate for what you have done. it is a really tricky doll to write myjob for rishi sunak but i think we'll get clarity and that this afternoon. taste think we'll get clarity and that this afternoon.— think we'll get clarity and that this afternoon. ~ . . ,., this afternoon. we are also getting a new podium. _ this afternoon. we are also getting a new podium, is _ this afternoon. we are also getting a new podium, is that _ this afternoon. we are also getting a new podium, is that right? - this afternoon. we are also getting a new podium, is that right? theyl a new podium, is that right? they each get their own, i didn't realise that. �* ., ,

the guardian leads on mr sunak�*s "unite or die" warning, as he prepares to enter number 10 today. the article says he has vowed to prioritise policies not personalities. mr sunak�*s love of star wars sees him holding a lightsabre on the front page of the sun, alongside the headline, "the force is with you, rishi". but the daily mirror takes a slightly different approach by asking, "who voted for you?" the paper points out that another tory is about to take to power without winning a general election. a busy programme ahead. we are going to hearfrom members of the conservative party, members of the opposition. wherever you are today, whatever you are up to, you can keep up—to—date on bbc news online. and constant updates on the bbc news app as well. there will also be a bbc news special from downing as well. there will also be a bbc news specialfrom downing street as well. there will also be a bbc news special from downing street on bbc one here at ten o'clock this morning following the comings grand

goings as rishi sunak speaks for the first time. when liz truss arrived here for the first time, 49 days ago, it was pouring with rain and she had to drive around the block a few times to avoid the showers. will the sun shine are now new prime minister? carol can tell us. good morning. it is looking like many of us will have a dry day today with some sunshine. probably, yes. we will see rain at times in the next few days, but we are going to continue with this mild theme. it is a mild start to the day. it is a bit nippy in aboyne. we have also got some showers in the west and the south. rain in north lancashire and cumbria. but a lot of dry weather until later when we have thicker cloud and some rain moving in across south—west england and also south wales. the wind will strengthen. temperatures i2 to 18 degrees north to south. through this evening and overnight,

this band of rain moves steadily northwards and eastwards. not much getting into the far south east. another weather front comes in bringing in more showery outbreaks of rain. some could be heavy, potentially thundering. from those temperatures you can tell once again it is going to be a mild night. tomorrow, the first batch of red cross scotland moves north. the second one moves east. a few showers getting into the south—east. one thing you will notice as they went. especially exposure in the west. a0 mph, possibly more. temperatures 12 to about 20 degrees. by the time we get to thursday it is possible somewhere in the south—east could hit 22 degrees. that kind of temperature value is more representative of what we would expect injune rather than at representative of what we would expect injune rather than at the end of october. and we are going to be talking all things autumnwatch later in the programme. talking about unseasonable weather that we have

had to come all year really, but certainly sent the summer. let's talk about some other use. the mother of murdered hull student libby squire is to meet her daughter's killer in prison. the 21—year—old disappeared during a night out in hull in 2019. her body was found seven weeks later in the humber estuary. pawel relovicz, now 28, was sentenced to at least 27 years in prison for the rape and murder of miss squire. her mother lisa says she has unanswered questions. how did she die? that's my biggest question, because obviously, the postmortem couldn't give us those answers. there's a whole load of other questions that go through my mind on a daily basis, but the big one is, how did she die? no, i don't think so. i don't think you will yet, but who knows? in years to come, maybe he will. for me, it's more about being in the same space as the last person who was with my daughter.

i knew most of her friends and, you know, she was always in contact with me, so i knew what she was doing in the morning, the afternoon and the evening. and i don't know what happened that evening, the last day of her life. i don't hate him. i don't actually have any feelings towards him because it will not get me anywhere. and angerfor me personally because it will not get me anywhere. and anger for me personally is very destructive, it is very draining, and the more time i spend being angry with him, that is the last time i can spend on thinking about libby and looking after my other children and doing family thinks. it'sjust easierfor me. children and doing family thinks. it's just easier for me. i children and doing family thinks. it'sjust easierfor me. i don't have that in me to be angry, i'm afraid. russia is to go to the un security council with its accusation that ukraine is planning to carry out a dirty bomb attack. the allegation has been rejected as transparently false and has been angrily dismissed by ukraine. new research suggests that a growing number of british households

are being moved onto prepayment gas and electricity meters, as they struggle with soaring energy costs. the comparison site uswitch found that 60,000 new meters were installed in britain in the six months to march, reversing a long term trend for the number falling. the american actor and comedian, lesliejordan, has died in a car crash in los angeles. he was 67. he was best known for his role in the sitcom, will and grace. he also gained millions of followers on social media, with daily updates on his life during lockdown. dolly parton in a tweet paid tribute, saying, "i am as hurt and shocked as if i have lost a family member. rest in peace lil�* brother". about a quarter of the sun will be blocked out this morning during a partial solar eclipse. it's the second of the year and, as you can see in these pictures from april, part of the sun will disappear behind the moon. the royal astronomical society says it will be visible across the whole of the uk from about 10am,

with the best view in northern scotland. to see as much as 85% of the sun covered, you would have to travel to western siberia. one of the biggest challenges facing the new prime minister is the cost of living crisis. ben is in rishi sunak�*s richmond constituency in north yorkshire for us this morning. good morning. what have you got there? what is going on behind you? well, not only are we in rishi sunak�*s constituency, we were in one of the lovely little tea rooms in the heart of richmond in north yorkshire. barry is getting the custard creams ready for the customers when they arrive later today. and we are here to talk about the cost of living pressures that businesses like this, and household here and around the country, are facing. let me run through why it is such a priority for the new prime

minister to sort out. we know that prices are going up sharply. inflation at a a0 year high. 10.1% it was in september. that is how much things on average have gone up compared with the year earlier. largely driven by the increase in food and fuel. that has added an ink —— an average of £6a3 to the annual average grocery bill. the financial conduct authority say 8 million people are now struggling to pay their bills. in a moment we will hearfrom barry and others in richmond about the pressures they are facing. first, my colleague jonathan swingler has been in shildon in county durham — about a 30 minute drive from here — hearing how people are coping with rising costs.

is there much more? i've only got two corned beef. good exercise. it's good exercise. the charity's kitchen makes affordable meals. donations are coming in. 200 kilo this morning. it'sjust amazing. and that's people sharing with us. people haven't got food in their cupboard. it's not right. food is a basic essential of life. it's not right that people are hungry and don't have food. that is not right. that needs sorting out. that's it. at the shop, visitors pay a donation for items to keep it going. for those in dire financial need there are free food parcels. we live in a really proud community, but we have some really tough challenges at the moment. out of all, 63 wards in county durham, shildon, and the areas around it, have the highest levels of poverty,

particularly absolute poverty for children. it's over a1% of children living in our area are living in absolute poverty. where's granny? where's mavis at? it's the first time this army veteran has been here. and the ladies are going to do a food parcel. you can come up every day and all of this food that we've got in here, we've rescued from different supermarkets there. they were going to stick it into landfill. and we said, "no, i don't think so. let us have it. we can do something with it." that's kind of our social enterprise side of things. our other main role really is to provide families and individuals in crisis, that support that they would only get from a family. we're the family for people without family. i can't afford to get _ vegetables and stuff, you see. i've only got a couple - of pounds left to my name, you know, with the benefits. so i'll go in there. they always look after me, i they always watch out for me. nigel told us how he was attacked with nine bar. he suffered brain injuries

and hasn't worked since. he's trying to get by on £600 a month. i used to be a qualified builder. go to work, look after the family, look after the kids. _ all my kids are grown up now, so they're all right, _ they look after their selves. there's weeks i don't - have enough heating on, just in case the gas runs out. if it goes below minus three or four, then i might put - the heating on for an hour. it's either that or you just go to bed and cover yourself- up and go to sleep. every day there's a constant flow of people, of all ages and backgrounds. i have a young son, and i'm currently not working. there's days that are quite hard, running up to receiving money. i think the stress can be quite hard some days, because you're obviously limited on funds. you know, what you can do, what you can buy, which in itself can have an effect on your mental health really, your stress levels. i'm good at talking. i've got a degree in marketing, i'm good with people. but i would like to think that

things will change for me next year, hopefully, work—wise, income—wise. and i would like to think that, if that does, i will certainly be looking to give back to places like shildon alive. i think it's important that we exist. i don't think we should be doing what we're doing to the extent that we're doing it. i feel like we're filling a lot of gaps that the public sector should be filling. it's an area of county durham where some people are struggling. but it's also a community which is doing its best to help each other. # happy birthday to you.# thank you. i think i've got spaghetti bolognese dripping off my chin! lovely. thank you. well, as you can see, julie is

cutting up the millionaires' shortbread. so many treats on offer. but people are feeling quite far from being like millionaires because of the cost of living pressures. let's speak to some of the business is about how they are dealing with it. barry runs the tea rooms. what are you finding in terms of cost pressures that are biting most? it’s pressures that are biting most? it's across pressures that are biting most? it�*s across the board, it is everything. utility bills, which everybody knows about. the cost of suppliers as well. the cost of everything has gone up. but has doubled in price. we go through an awful lot of butter in places like this. milk has gone up. bread has gone up four times already this year. everywhere we look there are nothing but price increases. we have to pay our staff more as well to help them survive the cost of living crisis.— the cost of living crisis. what would you — the cost of living crisis. what would you like _ the cost of living crisis. what would you like to _ the cost of living crisis. what would you like to see - the cost of living crisis. what would you like to see the - the cost of living crisis. what| would you like to see the new the cost of living crisis. what would you like to see the new prime minister do? what would help businesses like yours most? look, i think they have _

the temperature is getting exceptionally mild for the time of year, especially on thursday and friday, where we could reach 20, 21 celsius. more on pet owners abandoning their pets on the website. goodbye. good morning. welcome to westminster, downing street stop rishi sunak has been chosen by his own party as prime minister. it gives a sense of how fast things have made over the last few weeks. there is a gantry here when we get prime ministerial handover days. they have onlyjust taken down the one put up for liz truss arriving. they have had to rebuild it for another exchange of power today, suchis another exchange of power today, such is the pace at which politics has moved in the uk over the last

weeks. we had press, photographers here from all over the world, people keen to find out who the new man is. they might remember him from his days as chancellor of the exchequer but what kind of minister will he be? —— prime minister. so what happens today, as the prime ministerial baton is handed over? the current prime minister liz truss is to chair her final cabinet meeting at around 9 am. we expect to see ministers are riding for that over the next couple of hours. —— arriving for that. she's expected to make a statement outside number 10 at about 10:15am. she will then head to buckingham palace for a final audience with his majesty the king, where she will formally tender her resignation as prime minister. after that, rishi sunak will travel to the palace, where the king will invite him to form the next government. rishi sunak will then make his way to downing street,

where we expect him to address the nation for the first time as prime minister at around 11:35am. that will be covered live here on bbc one. well, we did hearfrom rishi sunak yesterday in a rather brief statement. this is what he had to say. i'd like to pay tribute to liz truss for her dedicated public service to the country. she has led with dignity and grace through a time of great change and under exceptionally difficult circumstances, both at home and abroad. i am humbled and honoured to have the support of my parliamentary colleagues, and to be elected as leader of the conservative and unionist party. it is the greatest privilege of my life to be able to serve the party i love and give back to the country i owe so much to. the united kingdom is a great

country, but there is no doubt we face a profound economic challenge. we now need stability and unity, and i will make it my utmost priority to bring our party and our country together, because that is the only way we will overcome the challenges we face and build a better, more prosperous future for our children and our grandchildren. i pledge that i will serve you with integrity and humility, and i will work day in, day out to deliver for the british people. that is the broadbrush statement he made just after he had that is the broadbrush statement he madejust after he had been that is the broadbrush statement he made just after he had been chosen by his party. maybe today we will get some more information about his

policies. since he announced on saturday he was standing for leader, there has been no statements about his plans. we can speak to labour. pat mcfadden is the shadow chief secretary to the treasury, and hejoins me now. thank you for being there. i know you do not approve of him and his politics and how he got here. when you hear a statement like that, pledging strength and stability against the backdrop of the cost of living crisis, the crisis so many families are affected by, i wonder whether it is time to cut him some slack and give him a chance. fin a slack and give him a chance. on a ersonal slack and give him a chance. on a personal level, _ slack and give him a chance. on a personal level, when _ slack and give him a chance. on a personal level, when i _ slack and give him a chance. on a personal level, when i think- slack and give him a chance. (m a. personal level, when i think about rishi sunak becoming prime minister, this is obviously a big positive milestone for the country to have someone who is the first person of which is asian origin to be prime minister. i think people will

recognise that for the important moment it is. —— of british asian origin. what i reflect on is that he is the third prime minister in three months, the fifth in six years. we have had four chancellors in four months. it has all been chaotic and unstable. looking at the newspaper headlines this morning, it seems to be about uniting the conservative party. i think the country has to come first and stability for the country. it is the conservative party that has brought us the instability and chaos in the first place. on one level i congratulate him, i think place. on one level i congratulate him, ithink it place. on one level i congratulate him, i think it is a big moment for the country. the party he represents is part of the problem, not part of the solution.—

is part of the problem, not part of the solution. with that in mind, the labour the solution. with that in mind, the labour party _ the solution. with that in mind, the labour party is _ the solution. with that in mind, the labour party is calling _ the solution. with that in mind, the labour party is calling for _ the solution. with that in mind, the labour party is calling for a - labour party is calling for a general election. i wonder if the country can stomach a fourth prime minister. can you see a general election is not going to happen? he: seems to have ruled it out. given parliamentary arithmetic, the conservative party has a big majority. the only way a general election can happen is if they agree to hold one. that looks less likely today. the reason we have been calling for it, the further away you get and the more prime minister is to a parliament you get, the further away you get from a mandate. we have had such a switch back and forth in policies. we will have the third major fiscal event in five weeks next monday. in large part, it is intended to try to fix the problems created from the first one in this

series of fiscal events, which caused huge economic chaos. what seems to be the framework for that fiscal event is that having caused chaos in the financial markets, in mortgages, in pensions and so on, the government is now going to ask the government is now going to ask the public to pay the price for that chaos through various cuts in public expenditure for years to come. people are already paying through higher mortgage rates now they are going to be asked to pay again through what the current chancellor, i expect him to stay, jeremy hunt, through what he calls eye watering a tough decisions. no one was talking about big cuts before the mini budget. now the conservative party is about to ask the whole country to pay the price for the mistakes it has made. pay the price for the mistakes it has made-— pay the price for the mistakes it has made. , , , , i. has made. despite everything you have said, despite _ has made. despite everything you have said, despite your— has made. despite everything you have said, despite your massive l has made. despite everything you i have said, despite your massive lead in the opinion polls, are you

slightly unnerved by the new prime minister? is he a bit of threat to the labour party? ida. minister? is he a bit of threat to the labour party?— the labour party? no. i am a football man. _ the labour party? no. i am a football man. we _ the labour party? no. i am a football man. we had - the labour party? no. i am a football man. we had a - the labour party? no. i am a| football man. we had a saying the labour party? no. i am a - football man. we had a saying in football, you can only play the team in front of you. i don't mind who the conservative party pics or who they field, another cabinet reshuffle today. more meeting round of their chairs. more chancellors and more home secretaries and the rest of it, it is not the change the country needs. we have had 12 years of low growth and massive economic instability. this party is riven by divisions. we have been through tough times in the labour party in recent years but we have got our act together, we had changed, we are united and agreed upon a plan for the economy in a fair way. that is

why we have been calling for a general election, not to have another game of musical chairs at the top of the conservative party but to have a government to bring financial stability and even on top of that a proper plan for the future of that a proper plan for the future of the country. i don't see this tired conservative party has been able to come up with a real plan for the future. == able to come up with a real plan for the future. . . able to come up with a real plan for the future. . , , ., , ., able to come up with a real plan for the future. ., , ., , ., _, the future. -- as being able to come u -. the future. -- as being able to come up- another — the future. -- as being able to come up- another busy — the future. -- as being able to come up. another busy day _ the future. -- as being able to come up. another busy day on _ the future. -- as being able to come up. another busy day on the - the future. -- as being able to come up. another busy day on the streets | up. another busy day on the streets around westminster. some good news for you, we have the sport and may be a bit of football. that will keep you happy. how are you? is he an aston villa fan? that is the question. it has not been best of seasons. steven gerrard came back to aston villa and there was big hope. if he does well

there, could he potentially manage liverpool when jurgen there, could he potentially manage liverpool whenjurgen klopp decides the time has come? whereby they going to go? they had gone to unai emeri. he has a big reputation. aston villa, with the potential they have come prospects, i think. he has unfinished business in english football, the way it finished for him at arsenal. it is going to be interesting, for both parties. morning. says a lot about aston villa's ambitions. appointing a manager who has won the europa league four times. thinking about europe is a long way off in his thoughts currently. villa are three points off the relegation zone. he's made a habit of winning european football's second tier club competition, most recently with villareal after he left arsenal. he carried on taking english lessons, despite his sacking from arsenal three years ago. he won't be in place for saturday's game with newcastle. his first will be against

manchester united next weekend. speaking of united, one man on the move is the the club's former midfielder michael carrick. he's taken over at middlesbrough, replacing chris wilder. it's his first permanent managerial role, having been part of the coaching staff at united underjose mourinho and ole gunnar solskjaer. he hails from the north east and won pretty much everything going as a player. the big talking point last night came at west ham, who opened the scoring through kurt zouma but only after the ball came off a west ham arm in the build up. var went with the referee's decision to award it, they said it wasn't deliberate. they got their second from the penalty spot. this is what bournemouth and manager gary o'neil made of it. i mean, itjust can't stand. it's impossible that that could be a goal. ithink it... his hand moves towards the ball. they say his hands are in a natural position. but, i mean, having your hands in front of your stomach, i don't know if that's any more natural than where jz�*s were,

jordan zemura's were. so, yeah. i see a movement towards the ball, which pushes the ball into an area that it would never have gone into. so whether the rule... i mean, if the rule says that should be a goal, and a rule is incorrect. the champions league returns tonight. chelsea play salzburg. potentially looking good for them. salzburg are a really, really good side and especially here, very strong. we saw their quality when they came to stamford bridge. so we expect a really tough match. we have to fight. we have to match their motivation and their intensity because that will be high. and then we have to try and play our football. it's going to be an exciting game, i think. manchester city's erling haaland

will return to play in front of borussia dortmund for the first time since he left this summer. pep guardiola's side have already qualified but haaland will be hoping to add more goals. he's well—educated in the way he has to live as a professional. and i think he has the intention to be better. like, of course, he scored a lot of goals, and we are happy that the fact that last season in dortmund had a lot of problems, injury problems, he could not play regularly. and this season, thanks to our physios and doctors and so on, he's been treated really well. he can play every three orfour days, and this is so important for us. celtic meanwhile host shakhtar donetsk, knowing defeat would see them miss out on going into the europa league. they're already out of the champions league and are five points behind the ukrainian side, who still have a chance of advancing from the group.

wales' hopes at the rugby league world cup are hanging by a thread after losing to tonga by 32 points to 6. wales pulled off a surprise by scoring first at st helens. but tonga clicked after the break, and daniel tupou clinched his hat—trick with the last of his side's six tries. to stay in the tournament, wales need papua new guinea to win tonight and then beat them in their final group match in doncaster on halloween. you've got to take your hat off to them. i mean, they commit totally againsta big, physical, good rugby league team. and again, i'm proud of them, but we've lost, you know, a defeat. but they really just. .. they gave everything and the resilience is tremendous. and he is one of snooker�*s more reocognised faces. shaun murphy — a winner of the sport's prestigious triple crown, of masters, world and uk titles. he has revealed how his fluctuating

weight has had such an impact on his life he has had stomach surgery. i was getting shouted at in the street, you know, social media with people sending me horrific messages and comments and dms on instagram and twitter. and in the end, ijust thought, you know, i need to do something about this. you know, this is going to be the end of me, you know, mentally and possibly physically. you know, i've got two young children. i couldn't run around after them. at the world championships this year i ballooned to nearly 20 stone, and that's the biggest... that's big, right, you know. and so ijust knew i had to do something about it. interesting, isn't it? he is so honest. you feel the sports people, we see them in this bubble. they are not immune, are they connected the kind of pressures and difficulties? mental problems, physical problems everyone is facing in everyday life. i suppose more refreshing in some

ways when you recognise that. that is right. none of us are immune. for people as recognisable as sean, the impact it has notjust on his physical health but mental health as well. it is really important. good luck to him. sad that he would have to go through all of that. some of the comments he has been experiencing are just awful after what has been a really difficult time for him. he has had difficult personal problems. for that all to come at the same time. he clearly feels he has managed to take control of that situation and do something for the benefit of himself to help him personally and his career as well. good for him for taking control of it. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. how are you? very well, thank you. i

hope you are as well. did you notice how mild it was when he ventured out? these other temperatures we have at the moment. 10 degrees to 15 degrees. the temperatures along the coast currently are more of what we could expect as afternoon temperatures rather than the first thing in the morning. the anomaly is aboyne. today will be dry for most of us. there are showers in the south and west. later we will have more rain coming into the south and west. low pressure is driving the weather. this front is driving in the rain and it will continue to move northwards tonight and tomorrow. tomorrow will be breezy, windy. the wind is coming from a mild direction, quite far south. it is dragging in the milder air by day and by night. tomorrow we have a

localised rain that lancashire and north cumbria. that will ease with a few showers peppering the north and south. the cloud will thicken up across the south west, introducing rain later. that will get into wales and the wind will pick up. temperatures 12 to 18 degrees. as we head on through the. the evening and overnight, watch the track of the rain. it is moving north. it continues across northern ireland go into wales, northern england and much of scotland. the wind was strengthen indo west, gusting as much as a0 miles an hour. these are overnight lows, more like what we would expect as maximum daytime temperatures at this stage in october. tomorrow we start with the rain in the north of scotland. the rain in the north of scotland. the rain will clear and it will be at windy day, especially when exposure in the west. a few showers knocking

around. these are the wind thus you can expect. a5 miles an hour across the north—west of scotland and 31 across their wash area. as we head on into thursday, we do have this band of early rain which will clear. then a bit more cloud and towards the west, picking up full drizzle here and there. in between a lot of dry weather. we are sucking up all this milderfrom quite far south. these are the temperatures we can expect, 12 to 20 degrees. depending on how much sunshine we get, some of the temperatures, especially in the south—east could be higher. we could get up to 22 degrees. that kind of temperature is more representative of what we would expect for example injune rather than october. victoria. strange, isn't it? we have

had such a year of mad weather. i wonder what all of this means. we're not going to have our coats on. you still have some they are home, etc. what does all of this mean the natural world? it has implications. certainly does. if you look at their flowers that are coming out, mike amelia is budding once again. i did not expect that at this stage. —— my camellia. we've been following the story of the three dads walking a lot here on breakfast. mike, andy and tim became friends and campaigners after their daughters took their own lives. well, last night, their incredible work on suicide prevention was recognised at the pride of britain awards. let's take a look. it's a night filled with stars. but perhaps none shine more brightly than those

who were there to be honoured. among them the three dads walking, who all lost a daughter to suicide and who are trying to make suicide awareness a compulsory part of the school curriculum. it's so surreal, that sense of what we are doing here. how did this happen?! amazing. through all of this though it is amazing. but we still are remembering emily, beth and sophie. there is a serious side to this as well. we want to get our word out tonight as well. suicide and mental health issues do not discriminate. there are so many stars here who have been so open about their own struggles. the dads story resonated with many of the celebrities who attended last night's pride of britain awards, including the hosts. as a new dad myself, my first child was a little girl. i can't imagine what they must have been through. i have got nothing but respect for them for what they've done. every parent in the room will kind of try to comprehend what you've been through and will be

with you on the quest that you have now. it's difficult to comprehend the hurt and the understanding that has to go behind the stories. they are incredible. and to get everybody talking about this, with young people, and all the people who have joined you on the walk, who have told you their stories. i think it's a lot bigger than we recognise in the official statistics. it is. that's what we found along the way. there are so many stories that get untold. yes. we are having to create a platform. it's almost a bit of a collective voice for the people who came and spoke to us. i was very open about suffering mental health for years before you were able to talk about it.

i remember going and seeing therapists and all sorts of doctors and i couldn't tell my parents. as time has gone on i've seen people more and more open talking about it. it makes me so happy. so many people experiencing much of it. the more we talk about it as a community, the more we can come together and support each other. that's why events like this are so magical. itjust brings people together and makes us feel at one. —— feel like one. it's amazing, really. these awards are all about celebrating the achievements of the winners. with the glitz of strictly stars past and present adding to the sense of occasion. there he is, look. nice to see you. an extraordinary shirt. i like it! i've got shirt envy, suddenly. well done. hello, mike. how are you? lovely to meet you. hello. lovely to meet you. they do scrub up all right, don't they? they do well. i've been watching you guys on tv. you're incredible. you make me cry when i watch you. we make a lot of people cry. do you want me to

take myjacket off? no, but i'll stand close. arlene, what's it like to meet these guys? amazing. from each of them having their own desperate misery, together, are a force and it's electrifying and will support so many others. the red carpet was filled with people from all areas of the worlds of entertainment, sport and politics. it's so important. i'm so proud of them. this must be the hardest time of their lives, that they're here today and we will going to be with them. i'm always really struck about how people have the resilience quite frankly, sometimes to do these things in the face of awful tragedy. i honestly don't know how i'd react in situations like that. they've been absolutely brilliant. are you just going to enjoy letting your hair down a bit tonight? it's nice. i don't have to do anything but celebrate other people. i think that's a really nice way to spend the evening. it has been a busy week. a busy week and we're only on monday. the dads were there to receive

a special recognition award for all they seem so far. —— they've achieved so far. as they say, their work to raise awareness of the dangers of suicide for young people has onlyjust begun. last night was another platform from which they could spread their message. alison freeman, bbc news, london. the leaves are falling from the trees and the nights are drawing in — it can only mean one thing. it's time for autumnwatch! we'll speak to the programme's presenters just before nine, but first let's take a sneak peak at tonight's show. the curl of the i believe allows the web to be spun across, covering the surface. eventually forming a superstructure. it seems quite

simple. upon closer inspection it is made up of thousands of incredibly dry threads which are vigorously honed into a velcro —like trap. the spider lies hidden underneath, waiting for a meal to come to her. wow! there we go. that is coming up at 29. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. drivers who don't live in the london borough of hammersmith and fulham may be fined for driving on some its roads, under plans to reduce congestion and improve air quality. the council says it'll use number plate recognition technology to stop cars from passing through some roads near wandsworth bridge.

but there are residents and business owners, who say it'lljust divert traffic onto other streets. an animal welfare charity is urging londoners not to abandon their pets after seeing a sharp increase in the number of cats and dogs being left on their doorstop. mayhew animal welfare charity in harlesden says it's nearing full capacity, and was adapting other areas to accommodate a sharp rise in pets being handed over to them, due to the ongoing cost of living crisis. a landmark public inquiry into marks and spencer's plan to demolish their flagship 1920s building on oxford street, starts today. it'll also be the first time that plans to demolish a building will measure how much carbon dioxide will be released. m&s�* own findings say replacing the existing shop will see a0,000 tonnes of co2 immediately released. there aren't many homes in london where the person living there has changed three times

in just two months. but that's the case for one of london's most famous addresses, as new prime minister rishi sunak moves in. he'll move into number 10, after having lived at number 11, after he's popped in to the even more famous address of buckingham palace. there, king charles will invite mr sunak to form a government. a look at the travel situation and the tube board. now onto the weather with kate. good morning. a very mild start again this morning. largely dry. there are one or two showers coming up from the south. we could just clip one or two of those. some patchy cloud, sunny spells through the day. towards the end of the afternoon, thicker cloud coming up from the south—west. temperatures still very mild in the light winds. we are looking at 19 celsius as a maximum. the cloud continues to move across overnight. we could see some outbreaks of rain. largely staying to the west but they

could just edge further east. the minimum temperature again very mild between 12 and 1a celsius. a bright start tomorrow. it is going to be a breezier day. low pressure very much in charge in the north—west of the uk. we could see some outbreaks of rain coming in from the south and the west as well. still some sunny spells tomorrow. the breeze will make things feel rather blustery with temperatures still mild again, 18, 19 the maximum. it is going to stay largely unsettled as we head through the week. the south—east is looking largely dry, albeit for one or two showers. the temperature is getting exceptionally mild for the time of year, especially on thursday and friday, where we could reach 20, 21 celsius. there's a video you can watch on our website on the rising number of pets abandoned due to the increased cost of living. it's on our website. bye for now.

good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay here in downing street, and victoria fritz in the breakfast studio. our headlines today. rishi sunak will today become prime minister — he'll have an audience with the king at buckingham palace, and will address the nation from here in downing street later this morning. we now need stability and unity, and i will make it my utmost priority to bring our party

and our country together. good morning. with food items getting more expensive, i will have the latest figures on how much more expensive basic groceries are getting. i am in richmond, rishi sunak pie my gone constituency. i will hear from people here about the cost of living pressures they are facing and what they were like the new prime minister to do to help them. in other news... the mother of murdered hull student libby squire is to meet her daughter's killer in prison. good morning. in sport, back with a point to prove — how aston villa have moved to replace steven gerrard with the former arsenal manager unai emery. good morning. another mild start to the day. a few showers in the west and the south. for most it is going to be dry with sunshine. later in the day we will see some rain coming in the

south—west accompanied by stronger winds. details coming up later. good morning from downing street. it's tuesday, the 25th of october. it is all change again. this is the day when rishi sunak officially becomes prime minister, the third this year. it is a9 days ago we stood at the spot when liz truss arrived here for the first time. in the next few hours she will leave number 10 and rishi sunak will take over. he will be the first british asian to make it to number 10, and, at a2, will become the youngest prime minister for more than 200 years. this morning he'll travel to buckingham palace, when he'll be asked to form a new government by the king, before returning here to downing street to address the nation as prime minister for the first time. our political correspondent david

wallace—lockhart has this report. the moment rishi sunak became leader of his party. good afternoon. as returning officer in the leadership election, i can confirm that we have received one valid nomination. he will officially become prime minister later this morning. his nearest rival, penny mordaunt, was unable to get enough support from fellow mps to force a vote of the party membership. rishi sunak was ultimately unopposed. he will be the uk's first british asian prime minister, and its youngest for more than 200 years. it is the greatest privilege of my life to be able to serve the party i love and give back to the country i owe so much to. the united kingdom is a great country. but there is no doubt we face a profound economic challenge.

we now need stability and unity, and i will make it my utmost priority to bring our party and our country together. so what formalities are ahead of us today? early this morning, liz truss will meet her cabinet for a final time. after that, she will address the waiting media at downing street, before meeting the king to tender her resignation. rishi sunak will then pay a visit to king charles, where he will be asked to form a government. he will arrive at downing street at about 11:35am, and will address the nation as prime minister. a change of power happens again without a general election. opposition parties believe it is time the public had a say. he is the third prime minister in three months, the fifth in six years. we have had four chancellors in six months. it has all been chaotic and unstable. people are sick and tired of this -

conservative chaos, and that is why the liberal democrats are calling for a general election— to be called right now. scotland's first minister wants to work constructively, but agrees the voters need to be heard. he is the second person in a row to be appointed as prime minister by tories, not elected by the population. the idea that he can go two years before seeking or winning a democratic mandate, i think, isjust unthinkable. attention will soon turn to the question of who will make up rishi sunak�*s top team. the chancellorjeremy hunt has been working on an economic plan to be published on october the 31st. but will he be the person to deliver it? the soon to be prime minister says uniting his party is a priority. the composition of his new cabinet will be of vital importance here. david wallace—lockhart, bbc news, westminster. i wonder what he is thinking about as he wakes up this morning, rishi sunak? he probably can hardly believe it. in the summer he lost to

liz truss. a year before that people were saying he would never be prime minister. yet here he is on the brink of living here at number 10, where the lights are on this morning. they are preparing to say goodbye to one and like another. i'm joined by our chief political correspondent, nick eardley. it has started to rain a bit. we haven't got a brolly. we need some cover. let's talk about the make—up of his cabinet. and crucially, who is he going have to as his chancellor? will he keep onjeremy hunt? chancellor? will he keep on jeremy hunt? . , , hunt? look, the cabinet room is riaht hunt? look, the cabinet room is right there- _ hunt? look, the cabinet room is right there. the _ hunt? look, the cabinet room is right there. the lights _ hunt? look, the cabinet room is right there. the lights are - hunt? look, the cabinet room is right there. the lights are on - hunt? look, the cabinet room is| right there. the lights are on this morning. liz truss will have a cabinet meeting for the last time at nine o'clock this morning. then rishi sunak has big decisions to make around who will be around that table tomorrow. in terms ofjeremy hunt, the chancellor, no confirmation yet. rishi sunak still putting his cabinet together. it is a trickyjob. there is a good chance the chancellor will stay in his

position for the simple reason mr sunak will want to provide some stability for the economic markets that things are not going to be topsy—turvy again. beyond that though, mr sunak has some big decisions to make. we can see on screenjust decisions to make. we can see on screen just now decisions to make. we can see on screenjust now a decisions to make. we can see on screen just now a lot of his supporters outside conservative headquarters yesterday. he will want to reward some of the mps who spent the last few months coming on breakfast and coming out to but for him, saying he was the right man with the right plan. people like dominic raab, one of mr sunak�*s biggest backers. at the same time he needs to bring in other wings of the party. the message we are getting from team sunak is that he wants a cabinet that would bring in what he —— they call all the talent tos the conservative party. people from the right of the party, maybe some of boris johnson's right of the party, maybe some of borisjohnson's allies, maybe some allies of liz truss. it is a tricky

job. there's only so many people you can fit around that table. mr sunak has got to figure out a way of doing it, rewarding the people who have got into downing street, but also bringing in different wings of his party. bringing in different wings of his -a . bringing in different wings of his la . ., bringing in different wings of his -a . ., , ., bringing in different wings of his party. the other huge question today is, what will — party. the other huge question today is, what will he _ party. the other huge question today is, what will he do _ party. the other huge question today is, what will he do with _ party. the other huge question today is, what will he do with his _ party. the other huge question today is, what will he do with his power? . is, what will he do with his power? we have got a new prime minister without a public selection process. he has not had to do any interviews or give any speeches. we don't really know where he stands, and so much has changed since the summer when he gave all those speeches. what is he going to do? i am when he gave all those speeches. what is he going to do?— what is he going to do? i am very wa of what is he going to do? i am very wary of sounding _ what is he going to do? i am very wary of sounding like _ what is he going to do? i am very wary of sounding like a _ what is he going to do? i am very wary of sounding like a broken . wary of sounding like a broken record. about seven weeks ago today, we stood here, borisjohnson left, liz truss stepped up and we said she had the most daunting entry of any pn had the most daunting entry of any pm in history. it is even worse for rishi sunak. the market has tanked. the economic picture has got worse, inflation has gone up, the cost of living crisis has got worse. rishi

sunak will be defined by the economy, but whether he can turn things around and start to work towards economic growth, something he has promised four years as chancellor. it is going to be extremely difficult at all. and as well as just coming in and talking a lot about those things, he is going to have to figure out how to work out the competing interests in his party. there are some conservatives who say get economic growth, relax immigration rules and get more migrant workers in. some conservatives say the opposite. some say about a closer relationship with europe, because that would mean more trade. some conservatives say the exact opposite. so, it is a tricky balancing act that rishi sunak will have, keeping the political side of this together, adding the economic side back on track. all with probably only a couple of years to turnit probably only a couple of years to turn it around before a general election. . ~ turn it around before a general election. . ,, , ., , election. indeed. thank you very much indeed. _ election. indeed. thank you very much indeed. nick— election. indeed. thank you very much indeed. nick will— election. indeed. thank you very much indeed. nick will be - election. indeed. thank you very much indeed. nick will be here l much indeed. nick will be here throughout the programme talking us throughout the programme talking us through this. we will probably see

some members of liz truss' cabinet arriving for the cabinet meeting in the next hour or so. it is due to start at about nine o'clock. nine minutes past seven. you remember a9 days ago when liz truss went to balmoral to meet the queen to be made prime minister. that was the last time we saw her majesty, queen elizabeth. rishi sunak will have his first audience with the king later this morning, and be invited to form a government. our royal correspondent, nicholas witchell, is at buckingham palace. good morning. maybe explain to us what will happen? goad good morning. maybe explain to us what will happen?— good morning. maybe explain to us what will happen? good morning. yes, the kin: , what will happen? good morning. yes, the king. fewer— what will happen? good morning. yes, the king, fewer than _ what will happen? good morning. yes, the king, fewer than seven _ what will happen? good morning. yes, the king, fewer than seven weeks - the king, fewer than seven weeks into his reign and already he is about to be under his second prime minister. a strong sense of deja vu because it was seven weeks ago today that we saw this all happening the last time. as you mentioned, you were there in downing street, i at balmoral. guess what? it is raining

again this morning, just as it was at balmoral. on that occasion, the last formal duty of the late queen, and it happened at balmoral because of her frailty and health, we saw borisjohnson of her frailty and health, we saw boris johnson arriving of her frailty and health, we saw borisjohnson arriving to resign and liz truss arriving to be invited to form a government. we remember that photograph of her with the queen. today, essentially the choreography is the same, though rather more straightforward giving that it is happening here and rather damp buckingham palace. at about half past ten liz truss will arrive to tender her resignation to king charles. then at around 11 o'clock, we think rishi sunak will arrive to be invited to form a garment. it is quite a short audience. the essence of it is that the sovereign invites the leader of the largest party in the leader of the largest party in the house of commons to form a government. the prime minister must be a person who can command the confidence of the house of commons. that is how it works and now

parliamentary democracy. we will see this morning britain's shortest serving prime minister followed this morning britain's shortest serving prime ministerfollowed by britain's youngest prime minister since william pitt the younger in the late part of the 18th century. and significantly, britain's first prime minister of colour of indian descent. that would give king charles some extra satisfaction. i’m charles some extra satisfaction. i'm not auoin charles some extra satisfaction. i'm not going to — charles some extra satisfaction. i'm not going to ask you any more questions because it is pouring down with rain and i am feeling guilty that you have got an umbrella —— i have got an umbrella and you haven't. carol told us earlier it would probably rain here in westminster today. she wasn't wrong. it has started to bog it down, just as it did that day a9 days ago when liz truss took over and she had to drive around the block while before dodging the showers to make your first statement outside the front door. let's get some reaction now to some of the opposition parties. we heard from labour earlier.

sir ed davey, the leader of the liberal democrats, joins us now. good morning. good morning. labour told us half an — good morning. good morning. labour told us half an hour _ good morning. good morning. labour told us half an hour ago _ good morning. good morning. labour told us half an hour ago that - good morning. good morning. labour told us half an hour ago that they - told us half an hour ago that they accept now that it is highly unlikely there is going to be a general election. they seem to be rowing back on that suggestion. i know you have called for a general election too. do you now accept it ain't going to happen?— election too. do you now accept it ain't going to happen? you're right, the liberal democrats _ ain't going to happen? you're right, the liberal democrats do _ ain't going to happen? you're right, the liberal democrats do believe i the liberal democrats do believe there should be a general election now. it is increasingly clear that conservatives don't trust the british people. and they're not going to give the british people they say they should have. and i think people are furious about that, actually. it is a wrong approach from the conservatives. possibly because they have crashed the economy, putting hundreds of pounds on people's mortgages. maybe they are afraid of going to the british people. that is what they should do. i know some people are furious, that

is definitely true. but we have heard this morning from people in shildon working at a food bank, people worried about meeting the bills and the cost of living crisis. some of them have told us they are just exhausted by politics. they just exhausted by politics. they just want to know what help is coming and when. they have told us the idea of having another election campaign for another month or so, maybe another prime minister, starting a new administration, is just too much to bear and a lot of them don't want it?— them don't want it? well, i have lots of sympathy _ them don't want it? well, i have lots of sympathy for _ them don't want it? well, i have lots of sympathy for those - them don't want it? well, i have l lots of sympathy for those people because they have seen little help from the conservatives. the conservatives have made things a lot worse for people. with the new prime minister coming in people will remember his record as chancellor of the exchequer. he was in the treasury for three years, most of which time he was the chancellor. he failed time and time again to give people like you have just mentioned have the support they need. the liberal democrats argued there was a cost of living crisis way before the conservatives acted, way before rishi sunak acted. and the problem

was rishi sunak�*s approach didn't give people the help they needed. and i am really worried now that that will continue to be the case. we need a proper windfall tax on the oil and gas companies. we need restoration of the levy on the banks. that will give them money. so we can have a fairer society. so we can protect are my public services like the nhs and our schools. and we can ensure that people's benefits and pensions go up with inflation. that would be the fair package. everything we have seen from the conservatives and from rishi sunak suggest they won't do that. i conservatives and from rishi sunak suggest they won't do that.- suggest they won't do that. i don't know. we don't _ suggest they won't do that. i don't know. we don't know— suggest they won't do that. i don't know. we don't know yet - suggest they won't do that. i don't know. we don't know yet whether| know. we don't know yet whether jeremy hunt will remain as chancellor, but his indication last week was that some kind of windfall tax might be on the table now. would you welcome that if he was prepared to accept something along those lines? ~ , . to accept something along those lines? , . , . , lines? well, the liberal democrats were the first _ lines? well, the liberal democrats were the first party _ lines? well, the liberal democrats were the first party to _ lines? well, the liberal democrats were the first party to argue - lines? well, the liberal democrats were the first party to argue for . lines? well, the liberal democrats were the first party to argue for a i were the first party to argue for a windfall tax over a year ago. when

rishi sunak as chancellor introduced one it was like a swiss cheese it was so full of holes. it didn't deliver the money that we need to help people. let's see what happens. but i'm afraid the record of the new prime minister isn't a good one. let's remember when he was running to be the conservative leader in the summer, he actually boasted that he had taken money from poorer areas and given it to reach areas. that wasn't levelling up and it certainly wasn't levelling up and it certainly wasn't the fairer society the liberal democrats want. yeah, we will see what he does, but i'm afraid all the signs are that he is just another conservative who won't deliver on the values of the british people. a, deliver on the values of the british eo - le. �* . deliver on the values of the british eo . le, a ., ., deliver on the values of the british --eole. �* . . , ., ., people. a windfall tax is not going to solve everything _ people. a windfall tax is not going to solve everything that _ people. a windfall tax is not going to solve everything that we - people. a windfall tax is not going to solve everything that we have l people. a windfall tax is not going | to solve everything that we have to deal with anyway, if it comes in or not. at your party is also going public with plans of your own this week. you are talking about making permanent the universal credit uplift, betterschools, better

permanent the universal credit uplift, better schools, better care, ongoing help with energy bills. yes, a windfall tax might be able to fund some of those things, but people will look at this list and think, how are you going to fund all of that at a time like this? we have alwa s that at a time like this? we have always been _ that at a time like this? we have always been responsible - that at a time like this? we have always been responsible in - that at a time like this? we have always been responsible in our l always been responsible in our approach. we have never put forward approach. we have never put forward a budget that is not funded in the way that the conservative state. the reason we have not done that is because we are worried about people's mortgages. the conservatives put forward an unfunded budget, which saw hundreds of pounds added to people's mortgages and crashed the economy. the liberal democrats have always been clear we need to have irresponsible funded budget. that is what we will do, whether it is the windfall tax that we mentioned. i also mentioned the fact the conservatives have cut billions from banks. the bank levy has been cut back. that should be restored so we can get more money to fund the sort of programmes that the liberal democrats are talking about. sir ed

dave , democrats are talking about. sir ed davey. from _ democrats are talking about. sir ed davey. from the — democrats are talking about. sir ed davey, from the liberal _ democrats are talking about. sir ed | davey, from the liberal democrats, thank you forjoining us live on bbc breakfast micra. a big day here in westminster. the brolly still up. it is a bit wet. i am feeling brolly envy, to be honest, because some of the american broadcasters have got some of the biggest umbrellas i have ever seen. some of the biggest umbrellas i have everseen. i some of the biggest umbrellas i have ever seen. i have got my little bbc news one! we are all lined up, brolly is at the ready for the day ahead. carol can tell us if i am going to need a bigger one as the day goes on. good morning. good morning. this is a shower moving across london and it will clear. there is another one not too far away. it might come into london, it might miss it. there are showers in the forecast today across the west and the south in particular. most of us will miss them. rain coming into the south west later. you won't miss that because the wind will strengthen, the cloud will thicken. we have got showers across southern areas, showers in the west as well. there is a lot of dry weather around this morning. some of us starting

off with clear skies and some sunshine. some showers getting into northern ireland, we have currently got a line of heavier showers moving through north lancashire and cumbria. we will see some showers getting into wales and some across southern counties. as i mentioned though, they are the exception rather than the rule. through the course of the day the cloud thickens in the south—west of england and south wales, introducing some rain. here too strengthening winds. temperatures today 12 to 18 degrees. this evening and overnight the rain advances northwards, little if any getting into the south—east. the wind will strengthen. especially with the exposure in the west. a0 mph possible. it is going to be another mild night. tomorrow we see correct to say goodbye to the first band of rain, the second band clears the east as we go through the course of the day. behind it, drier conditions. a windy day tomorrow than today. especially with exposure in the west. temperatures are a little bit higher.

12 to 20. victoria. thank you. one of the biggest challenges facing the new prime minisrter is the cost of living crisis. everyone wants to know the answers he might have to the big questions facing this nation. and in the last few minutes we've had some official figures through. they came through at about seven o'clock. ben has been poring over the detail. tell us what you have got there and what you have seen in these numbers? there are quite striking, aren't they? they really are. we are surrounded by sweet treats here at vt rooms in richmond. rishi sunak�*s com constituency. —— the tea rooms. the basics of putting the squeeze on people's finances. the latest figures from the office for national statistics look at 30 basic items in a grocery basket and they look at the change in price for the very cheapest options. for those 30 items

the cheapest options have gone up about 17% in september, compared with a year before. that compares to general inflation of about 10.1%. compared with the year before. grocery prices going up faster than general goods and services in the economy. some items they picked out in particular have gone up even more sharply. vegetable oil, up by 65% in september compared to the year before. the cheapest pastor option gone up by 60%. and the cheapest tea bags you can get, up by a6% compared to the year before. that illustrates evenif to the year before. that illustrates even if you are going for the cheapest supermarket brand items, the cost pressures really are biting for people, notjust here in north yorkshire, but around the country. it is busy this morning. we have got people down here having their breakfast, having their morning coffee. let's chat to wilt, who

her mother lisa says she has unanswered questions. how did she die? that's my biggest question, because obviously, the postmortem couldn't give us those answers. there's a whole load of other questions that go through my mind on a daily basis, but the big one is, how did she die? no, i don't think so. i don't think he will yet, but who knows? in years to come, maybe he will. for me, it's more about being in the same space as the last person who was with my daughter. i knew most of her friends and, you know, she was always in contact with me, so i knew what she was doing in the morning, the afternoon and the evening. and i don't know what happened that evening, the last day of her life. i don't hate him. i don't actually have any feelings towards him, because it will not get me anywhere. and angerfor me personally is very destructive, it is very draining, and the more time i spend being angry with him, that is less time i can spend

on thinking about libby and looking after my other children and doing family things. it'sjust easierfor me. i don't have that in me to be angry, i'm afraid. russia is to go to the un security council with its accusation that ukraine is planning to carry out a dirty bomb attack, which involves using conventional explosives with radioactive material. nato has already rejected the allegation as transparently false. hugo bachega joins us now from kyiv. quite an escalation here. i know the russian defence minister has told his western counterparts that the war is heading, and these are his words, for an uncontrolled escalation. how his ukraine responding?— escalation. how his ukraine responding? escalation. how his ukraine res-condin? ., responding? good morning. the ukrainians _ responding? good morning. the ukrainians are _ responding? good morning. the ukrainians are essentially - ukrainians are essentially dismissing those allegations as absurd, lies. they say russia itself could be preparing to use a dirty

bomb. as you say, this narrative is escalating. first, the russian defence minister on sunday made those claims. yesterday again russian officials repeated those accusations without providing any evidence. there is no evidence, no indication suggesting the ukrainians are preparing to use a dirty bomb. and yesterday again western officials said that if these allegations are false. so what of the ukrainians are saying is that this is a lie. and that the russians could be preparing a false flag attack. in other words, they could be preparing to carry out this attack and then blame the ukrainians for that. attack and then blame the ukrainians forthat. i for that. i think the timing of these allegations is obvious to very interesting because it comes as the ukrainians are carrying out this counteroffensive. they are taking back territory that is now under russian occupation. especially in the region of kherson, one of four

regions has been put in claims to have an x. the ukrainians say this could be part of russia's response to its military defeats on the battlefield.— to its military defeats on the battlefield. . ,, , ., , ., ., battlefield. thank you, you go. i know the weekender _ battlefield. thank you, you go. i know the weekender civilians i battlefield. thank you, you go. i i know the weekender civilians were told to evacuate that city. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning. i'm asad ahmad. drivers who don't live in the london borough of hammersmith and fulham — may be fined for driving on some it's roads — under plans to reduce congestion and improve air quality. the council says it'll use number plate recognition technology to stop cars from passing through some roads near wandsworth bridge. but there are residents and business owners who say it'lljust divert traffic onto other streets. an animal welfare charity is urging londoners not to abandon their pets after seeing a sharp increase in the number of cats and dogs being left on their doorstop.

mayhew animal welfare charity in harlesden says it's nearing full capacity and was adapting other areas to accommodate a sharp rise in pets being handed over to them due to the ongoing cost of living crisis. a landmark public inquiry into marks and spencer's plan to demolish their flagship 1920s building on oxford street starts today. it'll also be the first time that plans to demolish a building will measure how much carbon dioxide will be released. m&s's own findings say replacing the existing shop will see a0,000 tonnes of co2 immediately released. there aren't many homes in london, where the person living there has changed three times injust two months. but that's the case for one of london's most famous addresses, as new prime minister rishi sunak moves in. he'll move into number 10, after having lived at number 11, after he's popped—in to the even more famous address

coming in from the south and the west as well. still some sunny spells tomorrow. the breeze will make things feel rather blustery with temperatures still mild again, 18, 19 the maximum. it is going to stay largely unsettled as we head through the week. the south—east is looking likely to try, albeit for one or two showers. —— largely dry. the temperature is getting exceptionally mild for the time of year, especially on thursday and friday, where we could reach 20, 21 celsius. there's a video you can watch on our website on the rising number of pets abandoned due to the increased cost of living. bye for now. good morning. you're watching breakfast, on the day that rishi sunak officially becomes prime minister. we thought we would take a look at

who he is. he was first elected as an mp just seven years ago by the people of richmond in north yorkshire and at a2 is the youngest person to hold the title in modern political history. the title of prime minister. graham satchell has more. when rishi sunak becomes prime minister today, it will be an historic moment — the first british asian to make it to number 10, and at a2, the youngest prime minister since 1812. so what do we know about rishi sunak? let me tell you a story. using a series of slick campaign videos, rishi sunak has told his own story. his indian—born grandparents came to the uk from east africa in the '60s. my mum studied hard and got the qualifications to become a pharmacist. she met my dad, an nhs gp, and they settled in southampton. sunak�*s parents wanted the best for him. they sent him to winchester, a private school, the oldest in england.

and he will never be forgiven by some tories for resigning as chancellor, and effectively ending borisjohnson's premiership. we can be better and we will be better. rishi sunak describes himself as patriotic, a family man, proud of his indian heritage and hindu faith. he's also a bit nerdy. listen to this. i collect coca—cola things. oh, really? i'm a coke addict. total coke addict. coca—cola addict. i thought i should be totally clear! he admits to being a huge star wars fan, says he wanted to be a jedi knight. he's about to become prime minister, the third tory prime minister in seven weeks. and he faces a mountain of troubles ahead. graeme satchell, bbc news. this morning he is waking up knowing

disaster. no need to drag the party towards the right. his mandate stretches the whole breadth of the particle even when you have hardcore loyalist to boris johnson like jacob rees—mogg and the business and defence secretary. they say they are fully behind rishi sunak. he is in a commanding position within the conservative party. now he has to walk this tightrope between all the different policy issues, whether the economy, northern ireland, energy, the war in ukraine, growth, immigration. young tray is overflowing. each decision he will have to walk this tightrope. —— be in tray is overflowing. have to walk this tightrope. -- be in tray is overflowing.— in tray is overflowing. there is no honeymoon _ in tray is overflowing. there is no honeymoon period _ in tray is overflowing. there is no honeymoon period for— in tray is overflowing. there is no honeymoon period for him. - in tray is overflowing. there is no honeymoon period for him. thatl in tray is overflowing. there is no | honeymoon period for him. that is oartl the honeymoon period for him. that is partly the state — honeymoon period for him. that is partly the state of _ honeymoon period for him. that is partly the state of the _ honeymoon period for him. that is partly the state of the economy, i honeymoon period for him. that is| partly the state of the economy, to do with— partly the state of the economy, to do with global factors and that has been made worse by brexit and the decisions _ been made worse by brexit and the decisions of liz truss. there is

ordinary britain. he cannot be because of the extraordinary wealth and privilege he has. he ran the package earlier about his upbringing. he was not born into money, he is independently wealthy. he did go to one of the country's top public— he did go to one of the country's top public schools. that level of privilege — top public schools. that level of privilege is something most people will never— privilege is something most people will never know. its privilege is something most people will never know.— will never know. as he likes to remind us _ will never know. as he likes to remind us every _ will never know. as he likes to remind us every ten _ will never know. as he likes to remind us every ten minutes l will never know. as he likes to - remind us every ten minutes when he was the son of a pharmacist and came from relatively humble beginnings. he did go to winchester, one of the best public schools. you saw during the leadership contest during the summer there were criticisms made about his wealth in his dress sense and some of the ideas he was putting forward. that is the big challenge forward. that is the big challenge for him. what we can all look forward to hopefully is less

to be taking on, something that has been made worse by other conservative prime ministers. i think it is going to be really tricky for him. i think any conservatives who are expecting it to be plain sailing, they are going to be plain sailing, they are going to be plain sailing, they are going to be surprised. you to be plain sailing, they are going to be surprised.— to be plain sailing, they are going to be surprised. you reckon jeremy hunt will stay _ to be surprised. you reckon jeremy hunt will stay as _ to be surprised. you reckon jeremy hunt will stay as chancellor. - to be surprised. you reckon jeremy hunt will stay as chancellor. i - hunt will stay as chancellor. i think it was significant he decided not to run. it would send a really worrying signal to the market to shift an hour after a couple of weeks. i think he and sunak get on quite well. weeks. i think he and sunak get on tuite well. ., , , quite well. one of the biggest mistakes liz _ quite well. one of the biggest mistakes liz truss _ quite well. one of the biggest mistakes liz truss made - quite well. one of the biggest mistakes liz truss made wasl quite well. one of the biggest i mistakes liz truss made was to quite well. one of the biggest - mistakes liz truss made was to have a cabinet _ mistakes liz truss made was to have a cabinetjust how loyal are some people _ a cabinetjust how loyal are some people who are ideal logically in the same — people who are ideal logically in the same placement with mno diversity— the same placement with mno diversity of views within that. that is the _ diversity of views within that. that is the big — diversity of views within that. that is the big challenge for rishi sunak — is the big challenge for rishi sunak. he wants to go for a government of all the talents. every pilot i_ government of all the talents. every pilot i have — government of all the talents. every pilot i have had from said they are always— pilot i have had from said they are always going to have a cabinet of all the _

tower. how many nights do you think liz truss was there? i always think that about football managers. so often you are in a hotel for i firstly weeks of the job, the first human months before you get your feet and at the table. tell me what is going on. unai emery is the new villa manager. historically he seems to have struggled at the clubs, arsenal and paris saint—germain. at clubs where he can make them better than the sum of their parts, big ambitions, big prospects. that is what he has done and the likes of fellow riau. —— villa riau. says a lot about aston villa's ambitions. appointing a manager who has won the europa league four times.

thinking about europe is a long way off in his thoughts currently, they're three points off the relegation zone. he's made a habit of winning european football's second tier club competition, mos recently with villareal after he left arsenal. he carried on taking english lessons despite his sacking from arsenal three years ago. he won't be in place for saturday's game with newcastle, his first will be against manchester united next weekend. speaking of united, one man on the move is the the club's former midfielder michael carrick. he's taken over at middlesbrough, replacing chris wilder. it's his first permanent managerial role having been part of the coaching staff at united underjose mourinho and ole gunnar solskjaer. he hails from the north east and won pretty much everything going as a player. the big talking point last night came at west ham, who opened the scoing through kurt zouma. but only after the ball came off a west ham arm in the build up. var went with the referee's decision to award it, who felt his arm was in a natural position. they got their second from the penalty spot. this is what bournemouth and manager

gary o'neil made of it. i mean, itjust can't stand. it's impossible that that could be a goal. ithink it... his hand moves towards the ball. they say his hands are in a natural position. but, i mean, having your hands in front of your stomach, i don't know if that's any more natural than where jz�*s were, jordan zemura's were. so, yeah. i see a movement towards the ball, which pushes the ball into an area that it would never have gone into. so whether the rule... i mean, if the rule says that should be a goal, then the rule is incorrect. i have not seen it yet so i would love _ i have not seen it yet so i would love to — i have not seen it yet so i would love to give _ i have not seen it yet so i would love to give you more detail. i had not seen _ love to give you more detail. i had not seen it— love to give you more detail. i had not seen it yet and i have not seen a penalty— not seen it yet and i have not seen a penalty kick. i thought our performance tonight warranted more than a _ performance tonight warranted more than a scruffy set piece goal. i thought— than a scruffy set piece goal. i thought our performance was much better— thought our performance was much better than that. we deserved victory — the champions league returns tonight. chelsea can qualify for the knockout

stages if they beat salzburg, who have never beaten an english opponent in european competition in seven attempts, including a 1—1 draw in the reverse fixture earlier this season at stamford bridge. salzburg are a really, really good side and especially here, very strong. we saw their quality when they came to stamford bridge. so we expect a really tough match. we have to fight. we have to match their motivation and their intensity because that will be high. and then we have to try and play our football. it's going to be an exciting game, i think. celtic meanwhile host shakhtar donetsk, knowing defeat would see them miss out on going into the europa league. they're already out of the champions league and are five points behind the ukrainian side. and its job done for city, they've qualified. just a few more games before erling haaland gets a holiday. norway aren't going to the world cup, so its five weeks in the sun for him.

although pep has warned him, to stay in shape and take it easy. iam i am pretty sure he would have loved to be in a world cup with norway. i am pretty sure, he has a house in spain. hopefully don't eat much and drink much and come back for the second round of the champions league. ii second round of the champions leatue. . his family, which might worry him because apparently it is his dad's lasagne which inspires him. have not had breakfast this morning. between then and all those baked goods he has had any idea of lasagne... wales hopes of rugby league world cup

scene. the weather will remain mild by day and night but there will be rain at times. what is happening? thejet stream isjust rain at times. what is happening? the jet stream is just to the west of the uk. we had a big buckle in it. thejet stream is of the uk. we had a big buckle in it. the jet stream is a of the uk. we had a big buckle in it. thejet stream is a rip in a fast moving wins quite roughly the height that planes fly. it is collecting these areas of low pressure. they are bringing us rain. we are on the warmer side of the jet stream, dragging in the mild air from quite far south. that is why we have mild conditions. also showers this morning across the west and the south. some of them are heavy and some of them will fade but not all of them. there will be a lot of dry weather around my sunny skies developing if we do not already have them. at the same time their cloud will thicken. the wind will also strengthen. temperatures 12 in

lerwick by 16 in liverpool to 18 in london. this band of rain continues to push steadily northwards. little if any getting into the far south—east. behind it comes another band of showery rain, this could be heavy potentially century. it will be another mild night for the time of year. tomorrow there goes the first band of rain, a second one following in hot pursuit, pushing slowly eased. as they bowed clear behind them more sunshine developing. a few showers dotted around. most of us missing then. temperatures 12 to 20 degrees. it will be windier tomorrow than today, especially when exposure out towards the west. when staying to designate low pressure is still very much with us. you can see whether france going north. the isobars tell as it would be a breezy day depending where you

are. no brains will tend to fade and we have rain in the west. in between a lot of dry weather. in the west, scotland, northern ireland and england, there will be more cloud around and it will be picking up for the odd spot of drizzle. temperatures up to 20, possibly 22 in the south is filter if we hit that it will be more representative of temperatures we could expect in june rather than at this stage in october. it will be a little darker than normal this morning, as the first partial eclipse in almost a year and a half takes place. the moon will start to pass between the sun and the earth just after 10 o'clock, and is expected to peak at around 11 o'clock. we are joined now by the astronomer anna gammon—ross. thank you so much forjoining as today. this is exciting, isn't it?

we must state you cannot look at this through normal sunglasses, can you? do not go outside and try to have a look if you do not have the proper glasses. have a look if you do not have the proper glasses-— proper glasses. definitely. it is very dangerous _ proper glasses. definitely. it is very dangerous to _ proper glasses. definitely. it is very dangerous to look - proper glasses. definitely. it is very dangerous to look at - proper glasses. definitely. it is very dangerous to look at the i proper glasses. definitely. it is i very dangerous to look at the sun proper glasses. definitely. it is - very dangerous to look at the sun at any times. even the men blocking out this little bit of light will not make a difference to protect your eyes. make a difference to protect your e es. , ., eyes. -- the moon blocking out the sun. if eyes. -- the moon blocking out the sun- if you — eyes. -- the moon blocking out the sun. if you have _ eyes. -- the moon blocking out the sun. if you have the _ eyes. -- the moon blocking out the sun. if you have the right _ eyes. -- the moon blocking out the sun. if you have the right goggles i sun. if you have the right goggles and their right glasses, what are you going to be able to see? what and their right glasses, what are you going to be able to see? what we will be seen — you going to be able to see? what we will be seen will _ you going to be able to see? what we will be seen will be _ you going to be able to see? what we will be seen will be visible _ you going to be able to see? what we will be seen will be visible in - you going to be able to see? what we will be seen will be visible in all - will be seen will be visible in all parts of the uk. the main thing is to find somewhere where there is no cloud. knowing the uk, who knows how lucky we will be? if you catch a break in the cloud and are able to see the eclipse he willjust see a little bit of the main passing in front of the sun. —— you willjust see the moon passing in front of the

sun. the intricate dance that goes on between the planets and the sand met we do not really get much thought, do we? that is one reason i love a solar eclipse. all of these things moving around us we do not really pay much attention to. the moon is orbiting around our planet all the time. moon is on the right, on the same side as the sun once every 29.5 days. the orbit of the moon is tilted relative to barrel bit around the sun. it is not that often we get things perfectly aligned so that the jenga often we get things perfectly aligned so that thejenga tower goes right in front of the sun and usually it goes above or below it. —— so that they moon goes right in front of the sun. we will have a little while to wait for a total

eclipse in the uk. because of the sizes of the sun and the moon relative in the sky, the shadow cast on the surface is relatively small. the next total solar eclipse will be in 2090, a very long time to wait. in 2026 there is one that is pretty close, so that is not so bad. igtgfe in 2026 there is one that is pretty close, so that is not so bad. we are back in 1999 — close, so that is not so bad. we are back in 1999 at — close, so that is not so bad. we are back in 1999 at the _ close, so that is not so bad. we are back in 1999 at the moment. - close, so that is not so bad. we are back in 1999 at the moment. i - close, so that is not so bad. we are back in 1999 at the moment. i am i back in 1999 at the moment. i am wondering what this means to you, the people in your profession. what data are you able to extract from these events? abs, data are you able to extract from these events?— these events? a partial solar ecu-se these events? a partial solar eclipse is _ these events? a partial solar eclipse is a — these events? a partial solar eclipse is a beautiful- these events? a partial solar eclipse is a beautiful event i these events? a partial solar - eclipse is a beautiful event which happens. a total eclipse is more beautiful. when everything is totally aligned and the moon covers the total disk of the sun you are able to see some of the more faint

most telescopes. if you have a normal telescope do not use that to look at the sun. a solar telescope is the one to use and what we will use for the eclipse viewing today. the special filters inside are similar to the filters you will see in particular eclipse glasses if you have something like that which block out the main part of the light and make it a bit safer for us to observe. i make it a bit safer for us to observe-— make it a bit safer for us to observe. . ,, ., ,, observe. i am kind of thinking it will be a little _ observe. i am kind of thinking it will be a little late _ observe. i am kind of thinking it will be a little late for— observe. i am kind of thinking it will be a little late for this i observe. i am kind of thinking it will be a little late for this if i will be a little late for this if you do not have your seller glasses already. the event is being live stream, isn't it? do people go to watch that if they want to watch it on the computer? fin watch that if they want to watch it on the computer?— on the computer? on the royal observatory — on the computer? on the royal observatory greenwich - on the computer? on the royal| observatory greenwich youtube channel as well as the facebook page. i channel as well as the facebook nae. ., channel as well as the facebook nae, ., . channel as well as the facebook otae. . . ., , ., channel as well as the facebook otae. ., . ., . page. i am excited for you and i ho -e page. i am excited for you and i hope you _ page. i am excited for you and i hope you can — page. i am excited for you and i hope you can see _ page. i am excited for you and i hope you can see everything i page. i am excited for you and i | hope you can see everything you want. stay with us, the

headlines coming up.

good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay here in downing street, and victoria fritz in the breakfast studio. our headlines today. rishi sunak will today become prime minister — he'll have an audience with the king at buckingham palace, and will address the nation from here in downing street later this morning. we now need stability and unity, and i will make it my utmost priority to bring our party and our country together. good morning from richmond, north yorkshire, rishi sunak�*s

constituency. the rising cost of living is leaving a bitter taste in people's mouths. i will be hearing from some of his constituents about the cost pressures they are facing and what they would like to see him do to help them. in other news... the mother of murdered hull student libby squire is to meet her daughter's killer in prison. the three dads walking got the nation talking about suicide prevention — now their work has been recognised by the pride of britain awards. good morning. it is another mild start to the day to day. some showers in the west and the south. later we will see some rain in the south—west with strengthening winds. for most, it should stay dry. details coming up. good morning from downing street. it's tuesday, the 25th of october. it is another day for the history

books. the british political history books. the british political history books. the british political history books. the stage is set in downing street. the gantry has been built, the press and photographers are here from all over the world to capture the moment when another prime minister stands on the steps and waves to the cameras. rishi sunak will today become prime minister — the third this year. he will be the first british asian to make it to number 10, and at a2 will become the youngest prime ministerfor more than 200 years. this is what we are expecting to happen. liz truss will leave here just a9 days after she arrived, and will hand in her resignation to the king at buckingham palace. shortly afterwards, rishi sunak will travel to the palace to form a new government, before he returns to downing street to stand at a podium to address the nation for the first time as pm. here is the latest from

david wallace lockhart. the moment rishi sunak became leader of his party. good afternoon. as returning officer in the leadership election, i can confirm that we have received one valid nomination. he will officially become prime minister later this morning. his nearest rival, penny mordaunt, was unable to get enough support from fellow mps to force a vote of the party membership. rishi sunak was ultimately unopposed. he will be the uk's first british asian prime minister, and its youngest for more than 200 years. it is the greatest privilege of my life to be able to serve the party i love and give back to the country i owe so much to. the united kingdom is a great country. but there is no doubt we face a profound economic challenge. we now need stability and unity, and i will make it my utmost

priority to bring our party and our country together. so what formalities are ahead of us today? early this morning, liz truss will meet her cabinet for a final time. after that, she will address the waiting media at downing street, before meeting the king to tender her resignation. rishi sunak will then pay a visit to king charles, where he will be asked to form a government. he will arrive at downing street at about 11:35am, and will address the nation as prime minister. a change of power happens again without a general election. opposition parties believe it is time the public had a say. he is the third prime minister in three months, the fifth in six years. we have had four chancellors in four months. it has all been chaotic and unstable. it is increasingly clear that conservatives _ it is increasingly clear that conservatives don't- it is increasingly clear that conservatives don't trust i it is increasingly clear that i conservatives don't trust the british— conservatives don't trust the british people. _ conservatives don't trust the british people. and - conservatives don't trust the british people. and they're i conservatives don't trust the i british people. and they're not going — british people. and they're not

going to — british people. and they're not going to give _ british people. and they're not going to give the _ british people. and they're not going to give the british- british people. and they're not| going to give the british people they say— going to give the british people they say they _ going to give the british people they say they should _ going to give the british people they say they should have. i- going to give the british people i they say they should have. i think people _ they say they should have. i think people are — they say they should have. i think people are furious _ they say they should have. i think people are furious about - they say they should have. i think people are furious about that, i people are furious about that, actually — scotland's first minister wants to work constructively, but agrees the voters need to be heard. he is the second person in a row to be appointed as prime minister by tories, not elected by the population. the idea that he can go two years before seeking or winning a democratic mandate, i think, isjust unthinkable. attention will soon turn to the question of who will make up rishi sunak�*s top team. the chancellorjeremy hunt has been working on an economic plan to be published on october the 31st. but will he be the person to deliver it? the soon to be prime minister says uniting his party is a priority. the composition of his new cabinet will be of vital importance here. david wallace—lockhart, bbc news, westminster. we have heard this morning that rishi sunak likes to go on his exercise bike or to a spin class at

this time of the morning. i suspect they won't be much time for that today or in the days ahead because he will have to get straight to work in downing street, with a huge cost of living crisis to deal with. let's speak to former leader of the conservative party, sir iain duncan smith. good morning. you told your party back in 2002 to unite or die. rishi sunak used exactly the same words to his mps yesterday. i am just struggling to imagine unity at the moment, because he has got his job cut out for him just dealing with tory backbenchers, hasn't he? well, maybe. ithink with tory backbenchers, hasn't he? well, maybe. i think the truth is there is a great desire to stop having an argument in an empty room and i think this happens to all political parties, labour might, the conservatives, periods when we have been under great stress. i don't recall a time when covid, huge pandemic, lockdowns, the war in

ukraine, cost of living problems that came out of the lockdown, these are notjust the uk, i was looking at the purchase managers index, a very good forecast about where we are going, and europe is in an even worse state than we are. we are both heading for recession unless we do some corrective turn or —— correctives. this is a global problem. the uk has to sort itself out. everybody else is in the same boat. he needs to make it clear to the party that we can no longer indulge in debates about policy, we have to get on with governing. haifa have to get on with governing. how confident are _ have to get on with governing. how confident are you _ have to get on with governing. how confident are you that that will happen? some of his own mps yesterday, around the time when he was being announced as leader, reporting on social media that they themselves thought this was unsustainable, that he would not be able to govern, that they should be able to govern, that they should be a general election. that doesn't sound like uniting, that sounds more like potentially dying, if anything? i think you're talking probably

about a tiny minority of one or two that were doing that. there is no accounting for one or two people in any party aggrieved about things. the truth is rishi sunak is now going to be the prime minister. and we have two years before the next election to try and get the uk economy back fully on track again, which is critical. and to deliver on the promise of brexit. of things haven't been done. the regulatory things. we will deliver a more competitive economy. these are big challenges. we have lost the first two and a half years because of covid. now we have been facing over the past seven, eight months, the war in ukraine. these are big body blows to the uk economy. we can pull through this if you get the right decision making. it has got to be a balance. not too heavy—handed on the tax side of things, and certainly not on the spending side. we have got to make sure the poorest in society do manage to keep up. that

is really important. of these balances are going to be on his injury, in his entry, but i think you will get them right. fine injury, in his entry, but i think you will get them right. one of the first thins you will get them right. one of the first things he _ you will get them right. one of the first things he has _ you will get them right. one of the first things he has to _ you will get them right. one of the first things he has to do _ you will get them right. one of the first things he has to do is - you will get them right. one of the first things he has to do is appoint| first things he has to do is appoint his cabinet. crucially, the chancellor of the exchequer, would you expect him to keepjeremy hunt on? i you expect him to keep jeremy hunt on? . ., , . on? i am not very good at speculation, _ on? i am not very good at speculation, but - on? i am not very good at speculation, but i - on? i am not very good at speculation, but i do i on? i am not very good at| speculation, but i do think on? i am not very good at i speculation, but i do think on on? i am not very good at - speculation, but i do think on this particular occasion i think it is unlikely that he will move him because he is already heading, in six days' time, for a budget. it would be very difficult. i suspect they are probably not far off each other in the general sense in terms of direction. i suspectjeremy hunt has been talking to rishi sunak of the past few days, if not the past week or so. the past few days, if not the past week or so-_ week or so. what about penny mordaunt? — week or so. what about penny mordaunt? what _ week or so. what about penny mordaunt? what should i week or so. what about penny mordaunt? what should he i week or so. what about penny l mordaunt? what should he do? week or so. what about penny - mordaunt? what should he do? there is talk she may be will get a the foreign office?— is talk she may be will get a the foreign office? speculation about which office _ foreign office? speculation about which office they _ foreign office? speculation about which office they will _ foreign office? speculation about which office they will get, - foreign office? speculation about which office they will get, it i foreign office? speculation about which office they will get, it is i foreign office? speculation about which office they will get, it is a i which office they will get, it is a privilege for any of them to go into government. i'm sure she will be very happy to go to a particular job. i thought she behaved really

well, impeccably actually come in many senses. what he should do is take a pace back and say i owe nobody anything, because this is bigger than individuals. i will pick those that have the greatest capability to do theirjobs and deliver, regardless of which bits of the conservative party they come from. that, in my view, is how to do it, and to make sure that you have got rising talent, but you have also got rising talent, but you have also got solid experience, which i think had gone missing in the previous cabinet. but experience matters. it matters to prime ministers. because it is the memory of what went wrong in the past. it is the memory of what went wrong in the -ast. . , . it is the memory of what went wrong in the -ast. ., . . ,, it is the memory of what went wrong in the past-— in the past. that is what you do. you mentioned _ in the past. that is what you do. you mentioned the _ in the past. that is what you do. you mentioned the cost - in the past. that is what you do. you mentioned the cost of- in the past. that is what you do. you mentioned the cost of living crisis. that is the overwhelming concern for millions of our viewers watching this morning. we havejust had some figures in from the office for national statistics, which say that a bottle of vegetable oil has gone up by 65% in price. pass to up

by 60%. a box of tea bags up by a0%. backin by 60%. a box of tea bags up by a0%. back in the summer when you are backing liz truss to be prime minister, you said that rishi sunak is chancellor it should take some of the blame? ., is chancellor it should take some of the blame?— the blame? no, i was actually critical of— the blame? no, i was actually critical of the _ the blame? no, i was actually critical of the bank. _ the blame? no, i was actually critical of the bank. and i the blame? no, i was actually critical of the bank. and rishi| critical of the bank. and rishi sunak. critical of the bank. and rishi sunak- you — critical of the bank. and rishi sunak. you said _ critical of the bank. and rishi sunak. you said he _ critical of the bank. and rishi sunak. you said he signed i critical of the bank. and rishi| sunak. you said he signed off critical of the bank. and rishi i sunak. you said he signed off some of the cheques. the sunak. you said he signed off some of the cheques-— sunak. you said he signed off some of the cheques. the treasury and the bank working — of the cheques. the treasury and the bank working in _ of the cheques. the treasury and the bank working in concert. _ of the cheques. the treasury and the bank working in concert. that - of the cheques. the treasury and the bank working in concert. that is i of the cheques. the treasury and the bank working in concert. that is the i bank working in concert. that is the point. the bank failed to raise interest rates early enough to get out of the domestic inflation. they carried on with quantitative easing. and by the way, mervyn king, and the laura kuenssberg programme on sunday, made exactly the same criticism. they should have been acting earlier. we would have nipped it in the bud. let's put this in context. in holland there inflation rate is stratospheric. germany is ahead of us. their cost of living is rising faster. france is in a crisis. macron is under threat. the

yen injapan has fallen to a 35 year low. even in china, their economy is stalling. this is a global problem. and in america mortgage rates are outstripping ours. they are not excuses. it is to explain there is a global issue to this which we have to deal with on a domestic front. it's very important we don't over kill the idea of the economy and growth. rishi sunak assured me that he did get the need for growth. he said that liz truss was right on that. but the way they went about it, which i absolutely accept, was not the right way to do it. growth is very important for people's lives. . , ,, . ., lives. iain duncan smith, we have to leave it there. _ lives. iain duncan smith, we have to leave it there. thank _ lives. iain duncan smith, we have to leave it there. thank you _ lives. iain duncan smith, we have to leave it there. thank you for - lives. iain duncan smith, we have to leave it there. thank you for your i leave it there. thank you for your time. 12 minutes past eight. we are in downing street ahead of the exchange of power, the handover of power, between liz truss and rishi sunak. you can hear the hubbub of voices. journalists from all over

the world arriving outside this famous front door to capture that moment. we have kinda got used to seeing it. today we get the same rituals, just different characters. liz truss leaves, rishi sunak arrives. nick eardley is here. we are still here! just like a9 days ago. what a a9 days they have been. liz truss about to see her cabinet for the last time? it to see her cabinet for the last time? . to see her cabinet for the last time? , , , , time? it is interesting, because remember _ time? it is interesting, because remember on — time? it is interesting, because remember on breakfast - time? it is interesting, because remember on breakfast 49 i time? it is interesting, because| remember on breakfast 49 days time? it is interesting, because- remember on breakfast 49 days ago we remember on breakfast a9 days ago we saw borisjohnson leave and he talked about his achievements, the things he had done in office. liz truss has not got much to say when she leaves today. she will probably talking about bringing down national insurance. probably talking about the energy bill help that she announced. this is the shortest tenure in british political history. she is the shortest serving prime minister. i am she is the shortest serving prime minister. iam not she is the shortest serving prime minister. i am not sure what he will tell the cabinet in about an hour when they gather around them for the last time. it has been a failure,

the things she wanted to do in office have gone badly wrong. but look, here we are, waiting for a new prime minister to stand. you can see the mark, i don't know if we can pick it up. two metres away from where we are now. that is where the lecture and goes. i think we will get a new one today. most prime ministers come up with their own. i thought it was interesting, one of the things iain duncan smith were saying, that the conservative party needs to stop debates on policy and get on with governing. i have got to say, i think that is something that you will hear a lot. get on the job. but the debates on policy are still pretty significant. we don't know exactly how rishi sunak is going to approach being in number 10. we heard from a lot of —— we heard from them a lot over the summer, he was on this programme telling us what he wanted to do them. the cost of living crisis has gotten worse. and

what we have not heard from mr sunak in this campaign is any acknowledgement of what has changed and what he needs to do differently. and as soon as he gets in there today, he is going to have discussions, he will have to have discussions, he will have to have discussions, with his chancellor, probablyjeremy hunt, about what they are going to do it next week. that medium—term fiscal plan. about how they're going to approach the economy. the challenges are really stark. really significant and really daunting. stark. really significant and really dauntint. . . stark. really significant and really dauntini. . . , ., daunting. yeah, and putting together a cabinet is crucial. _ daunting. yeah, and putting together a cabinet is crucial. iain _ daunting. yeah, and putting together a cabinet is crucial. iain duncan i a cabinet is crucial. iain duncan smith was saying that he expects thatjeremy hunt probably will remain in post as chancellor. is that the kind of feeling around here on the streets of westminster? look. on the streets of westminster? look, nobod has on the streets of westminster? look, nobody has confirmed _ on the streets of westminster? look, nobody has confirmed it. _ on the streets of westminster? look, nobody has confirmed it. team i on the streets of westminster? errraz, nobody has confirmed it. team sunak are keeping the lips sealed. the chancellor will probably stay on as job for the simple reason that he has provided a bit of stability when it comes to the financial markets. nobody will want to upset that. it

will be an interesting relationship, having a former chancellor as prime minister, who knows the treasury and how it works. there is always that slight tension risk between number 10 and number11. slight tension risk between number 10 and number“.— 10 and number11. jeremy hunt has loads more — 10 and number11. jeremy hunt has loads more expensive _ 10 and number11. jeremy hunt has loads more expensive being i 10 and number11. jeremy hunt has loads more expensive being in i loads more expensive being in government than rishi sunak. rishi sunak has only been an mp since 2015. he was only put into the treasury in the first place because sajid javid resigned as chancellor so dramatically. but yes, cabinet is going to be really quite a tricky process. you hear these stories from former downing street people about how they have whiteboards and pins in different places about who is going to do which job, in different places about who is going to do whichjob, and when in different places about who is going to do which job, and when you move one, you have to move another three. it is a tricky old world. that is something rishi sunak will be thinking about this morning. i am told he is getting briefings from officials about the top job. he is working on his speech. we are going to hear at about 11:35am. rishi sunak will come here to downing

street and set out his vision. a big moment for him. a big, big moment for the conservative party will stop a huge moment for the country. indeed. thank you very much indeed. nick eardley talking us through eight in westminster, in downing street, as ever. rishi sunak only gets to make his speech here once he has been confirmed in post by the king. he has to go to buckingham palace to do that. royal correspondent nicholas witchell is outside the palace. waiting for that moment. very different, of course, from when liz truss met the queen at balmoral 49 days ago? yes. from when liz truss met the queen at balmoral 49 days ago?— balmoral 49 days ago? yes. different circumstances, _ balmoral 49 days ago? yes. different circumstances, different _ circumstances, different surroundings. but of course the choreography is essentially the same. but it is seven weeks to the days since this all happened the last time. that was tuesday, the 6th of september. it was up at balmoral because of the frailty of the late

queen. it was her last formal duty just two days before her death when at balmoral she received the resignation of borisjohnson and invited liz truss to form a government. here we are now again and the choreography, as i say, essentially the same, though much more straightforward in logistic terms. all happening here at buckingham palace with king charles. at about half past ten liz truss will arrive at the palace to formally resign as prime minister. and at around 11 o'clock, we think, rishi sunak will arrive to be invited by king charles to form a government. so britain's shortest serving prime minister will be followed by britain's youngest prime minister since william pitt the younger in the late 18th century. more significantly, of course, rishi sunak will become britain's first prime minister of colour are of indian descent, a matter of particular satisfaction to the king. nicholas witchell at buckingham palace. thank you.

the first time the king has gone through this. it is the fifth time larry the cat has gone through this. in the decade since larry has been based here at number 10, he has gone through five prime ministers. maybe with good reason larry is keeping out of the way this morning. i have not seen much of him. a quick squish of the tail now and again. he is keeping a low profile. somebody i know is a big larry the cat fan is carol with the weather. good morning. good morning. if you find him, please bring him home. he is gorgeous. good morning. talking of gorgeous, it is a lovely start to the day in dunbar. we have got more or less clear skies. for many of us we are looking at a lot of dry weather to die. but we do have some showers peppering the west and also the south. we have also got more cloud and rain from the south west later in the day accompanied by strengthening winds. temperatures i2

strengthening winds. temperatures 12 to 18 degrees north to south. some of this rain, as it drifts north through the course of this evening and overnight will be heavy. it is going to steadily push northwards. not much of any getting into the far south—east, where it will cloud over. it will travel through wales into northern ireland, northern ireland, and push northwards through scotland as well. the wind will strengthen with exposure towards the west. behind that band of rain another one comes in. with all of this going on, it will not be a cold night. temperatures nine to about 15 degrees. as we head on through tomorrow, the first band of rain clears northern scotland. the second arc of rain eventually pushes northwards and eastwards, and behind all of that we are back into a day of sunshine and a few showers. it will be a windy day tomorrow than today. temperatures are a little bit today. temperatures are a little hit up. 12 to about 20 degrees. victoria. thank you, carol.

the mother of murdered hull student libby squire is to meet her daughter's killer in prison. the 21—year—old disappeared during a night out in hull in 2019. her body was found seven weeks later in the humber estuary. pawel relowicz, now 28, was sentenced to at least 27 years in prison for the rape and murder of miss squire. her mother lisa says she has unanswered questions. how did she die? that's my biggest question, because obviously, the postmortem couldn't give us those answers. there's a whole load of other questions that go through my mind on a daily basis, but the big one is, how did she die? no, i don't think so. i don't think he will yet, but who knows? in years to come, maybe he will. for me, it's more about being in the same space as the last person who was with my daughter. i knew most of her friends and, you know, she was always in contact with me, so i knew what she was doing in the morning, the afternoon and the evening.

and i don't know what happened that evening, the last day of her life. i don't hate him. i don't actually have any feelings towards him, because it will not get me anywhere. and angerfor me personally is very destructive, it is very draining, and the more time i spend being angry with him, that is less time i can spend on thinking about libby and looking after my other children and doing family things. it'sjust easierfor me. i don't have that in me to be angry, i'm afraid. extraordinary strength there from lisa. let's talk about what is going on with ukraine and get an update. russia is to go to the un security council with its accusation that ukraine is planning to carry out a dirty bomb attack, which involves using conventional explosives with radioactive material. nato has already rejected the allegation as transparently false. hugo bachega joins us now from kyiv. hugo bachega joins us now from kyiv.

they are persisting with these claims. i are they doing this, and what are the russians, the ukrainians, saying in response? —— why are they doing this? good morning- _ why are they doing this? good morning- it — why are they doing this? good morning. it is _ why are they doing this? good morning. it is interesting - why are they doing this? (emf. morning. it is interesting because these claims are coming as the ukrainians are carrying out this counteroffensive. they are taking back territory that has been under russian occupation. the ukrainians believe this could be part of a strategy of the russians to carry out a false flag operation. in other words, the russians could carry out an attack and then try to blame the ukrainians for it. what we are seeing is, the ukrainians are saying these are false allegations, absurd lies, and they say the russians could be planning to carry out an attack using a dirty bomb. yesterday russian officials repeated this accusation. it provided no evidence. there has been no indication that ukraine is going to use a dirty bomb. yesterday, western officials said these were false allegations.

so, it is interesting that this is coming as the ukrainians are carrying out a counteroffensive. but the main focus now is the city of kherson, one of the four regions president putin claims to have annexed. the ukrainians have launched an offensive to retake the regional capital of kherson. the russians are going ahead with these accusations, unfounded accusations, that the ukrainians could be preparing to use a dirty bomb, something rejected by the ukrainians and by western countries.— and by western countries. including the uk. and by western countries. including the uk- thank _ and by western countries. including the uk. thank you. _ and by western countries. including the uk. thank you. hugo _ and by western countries. including the uk. thank you. hugo bachega. | the uk. thank you. hugo bachega. new research suggests a growing number of british households are being moved on to prepayment gas and electricity metres as they struggle with soaring energy costs. the comparison site use which found that 60,000 new metres were installed in britain in the six months to march, reversing a long—term trend of the number falling.

we've been following the story of the three dads walking a lot here on breakfast. mike, andy and tim became friends and campaigners after their daughters took their own lives. well, last night their incredible work on suicide prevention was recognised at the pride of britain awards. let's take a look. it's a night filled with stars. but perhaps none shine more brightly than those who were there to be honoured. among them the three dads walking, who all lost a daughter to suicide and who are trying to make suicide awareness a compulsory part of the school curriculum. it's so surreal, that sense of what we are doing here. how did this happen?! amazing. through all of this though it is amazing. but we still are remembering emily, beth and sophie. there is a serious

side to this as well. we want to get our word out tonight as well. suicide and mental health issues do not discriminate. there are so many stars here who have been so open about their own struggles. the dads story resonated with many of the celebrities who attended last night's pride of britain awards, including the hosts. as a new dad myself, my first child was a little girl. i can't imagine what they must have been through. i have got nothing but respect for them for what they've done. every parent in the room will kind of try to comprehend what you've been through and will be with you on the quest that you have now. it's difficult to comprehend the hurt and the understanding that has to go behind the stories. they are incredible. and to get everybody talking about this, with young people, and all the people who have joined you on the walk, who have told you their stories.

i think it's a lot bigger than we recognise in the official statistics. it is. that's what we found along the way. there are so many stories that get untold. yes. we are having to create a platform. it's almost a bit of a collective voice for the people who came and spoke to us. i was very open about suffering mental health for years before you were able to talk about it. i remember going and seeing therapists and all sorts of doctors and i couldn't tell my parents. as time has gone on i've seen people more and more open talking about it. it makes me so happy. so many people experiencing much of it. the more we talk about it as a community, the more we can come together and support each other. that's why events like this are so magical. itjust brings people together and makes us feel like one. it's amazing, really. these awards are all about celebrating the

achievements of the winners. with the glitz of strictly stars past and present adding to the sense of occasion. there he is, look. nice to see you. an extraordinary shirt. i like it! i've got shirt envy, suddenly. well done. hello, mike. how are you? lovely to meet you. hello. lovely to meet you. they do scrub up all right, don't they? they do well. i've been watching you guys on tv. you're incredible. you make me cry when i watch you. we make a lot of people cry. do you want me to take myjacket off? no, but i'll stand close. arlene, what's it like to meet these guys? amazing. from each of them having their own desperate misery, together, are a force and it's electrifying and will support so many others. the red carpet was filled with people from all areas of the worlds of entertainment, sport and politics. it's so important. i'm so proud of them. this must be the hardest

time of their lives, that they're here today and we are all going to be with them. i'm always really struck about how people have the resilience quite frankly, sometimes to do these things in the face of awful tragedy. i honestly don't know how i'd react in situations like that. they've been absolutely brilliant. are you just going to enjoy letting your hair down a bit tonight? it's nice. i don't have to do anything but celebrate other people. i think that's a really nice way to spend the evening. it has been a busy week. a busy week and we're only on monday. the dads were there to receive a special recognition award for all they've achieved so far. as they say, their work to raise awareness of the dangers of suicide for young people has onlyjust begun. last night was another platform from which they could spread their message. alison freeman, bbc news, london. so great to see their efforts

recognised in the good things happen to good people. time now to go back tojon in downing street. looks like the weather has improved, the brollies are down, what is going to happen next? anyone's guess, isn't it? ., , , ., ., isn't it? hopefully i will have to use my coat — isn't it? hopefully i will have to use my coat to _ isn't it? hopefully i will have to use my coat to shield _ isn't it? hopefully i will have to use my coat to shield chris - isn't it? hopefully i will have to i use my coat to shield chris mason enemy like arlene phillips needed a temporary umbrella the moments ago. we thought we would run through what is going to happen the next few hours. people might want to be near the telly to watch this moment in history. whatever your politics, it is one of the days that matter. the current prime minister liz truss is in there right now. she is gathering her cabinet around her as we speak. you might see and hear them arriving through the front door in the next minutes. that will be at nine o'clock. she is expected to make a

jonathan swingler has been in shildon in county durham, about a 30 minute drive from here, hearing how people are coping with rising costs. is there much more? i've only got two corned beef. good exercise. it's good exercise. the charity's kitchen makes affordable meals. donations are coming in. 200 kilo this morning. it'sjust amazing. and that's people sharing with us. people haven't got food in their cupboard. it's not right. food is a basic essential of life. it's not right that people are hungry and don't have food. that is not right. that needs sorting out. that's it. at the shop, visitors pay a donation for items to keep it going. for those in dire financial need, there are free food parcels. we live in a really proud community, but we have some really tough

challenges at the moment. out of all 63 wards in county durham, shildon, and the areas around it, have the highest levels of poverty, particularly absolute poverty for children. it's over 41% of children living in our area are living in absolute poverty. where's granny? where's mavis at? it's the first time this army veteran has been here. and the ladies are going to do a food parcel. you can come up every day and all of this food that we've got in here, we've rescued from different supermarkets. they were going to stick it into landfill. and we said, "no, i don't think so. let us have it. we can do something with it." that's kind of our social enterprise side of things. our other main role really is to provide families and individuals in crisis, that support that they would only get from a family. we're the family for people without family. i can't afford to get _ vegetables and stuff, you see. i've only got a couple - of pounds left to my name, you know, with the benefits. so i'll go in there.

they always look after me, i they always watch out for me. nigel told us how he was attacked with an iron bar. he suffered brain injuries and hasn't worked since. he's trying to get by on £600 a month. i used to be a qualified builder. go to work, look after the family, look after the kids. _ all my kids are grown up now, so they're all right, _ they look after their selves. there's weeks i don't i have enough heating on, just in case the gas runs out. if it goes below minus three or four, then i might put i the heating on for an hour. it's either that or you just go to bed and cover yourself- up and go to sleep. every day there's a constant flow of people, of all ages and backgrounds. i have a young son, and i'm currently not working. there's days that are quite hard, running up to receiving money. i think the stress can be quite hard some days, because you're obviously limited on funds. you know, what you can do, what you can buy, which in itself can have an effect on your mental

health really, your stress levels. i'm good at talking. i've got a degree in marketing, i'm good with people. but i would like to think that things will change for me next year, hopefully, work—wise, income—wise. and i would like to think that, if that does, i will certainly be looking to give back to places like shildon alive. i think it's important that we exist. i don't think we should be doing what we're doing to the extent that we're doing it. i feel like we're filling a lot of gaps that the public sector should be filling. it's an area of county durham where some people are struggling. but it's also a community which is doing its best to help each other. # happy birthday to you.# thank you. i think i've got spaghetti bolognese dripping off my chin! lovely. thank you.
