tonight at six, we're live in downing street where rishi sunak has become prime minister — the uk's third in seven weeks. he faces a series of major challenges, top of which is a severe economic crisis. he spoke here a few hours ago of "difficult decisions" he would have to take. i fully appreciate how hard things are, and i understand too that i have work to do to restore trust after all that has happened. earlier, mr sunak was sworn in at buckingham palace by king charles. he arrived in downing street to a warm reception and set to work on his new cabinet.

no change in two of the big offices of state — jeremy hunt stays at the treasury, and james cleverly remains foreign secretary. suella braverman returns as home secretary — less than a week after she resigned — and dominic raab is deputy prime minister. the dilemmas of government are instant, who to hire and who to fire as british in an attempt to assemble as british in an attempt to assemble a team that can last that his party will support. it comes as new figures show the task in hand, with the price of some household basics soaring. you can see it on the shelves when you go into the supermarkets, you've got to really think about making better choices. ultimately, the cost needs to come down or people's income needs to go up. we'll be looking at the serious issues confronting the new government with our editors and correspondents across the uk.

and stay with us here on bbc news for continuing coverage and analysis from our team of correspondents in the uk and around the world. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six live from downing street, where a few hours ago, the uk's 57th prime minister, rishi sunak, pledged to work day in, day out to deliver for the country and earn the trust of the british people. he was sworn in at buckingham palace by the king to be the third prime minister this year. standing outside number 10, mr sunak warned that the nation is facing "profound economic uncertainty," and he promised to fix the mistakes made by his predecessor, liz truss. he dismissed calls for a general election, saying the mandate won by his party in 2019,

when borisjohnson was leader, belonged to every conservative mp and he wanted to deliver on their manifesto pledges. rishi sunak spent the day appointing his new cabinet. we'll have more on that in a moment, but first our political editor, chris mason, reports on yet another momentous day in british politics. ten to 12 this morning, downing street security gates had swung open, the motorcade swept in, heralding another new arrival here. here he comes, which is a mix walking up downing street alone to the podium to address the country for the first time as prime minister. 1 for the first time as prime minister-— for the first time as prime minister. . , , ., minister. i have 'ust been to buckingham — minister. i have just been to buckingham palace - minister. i have just been to buckingham palace and - minister. i have just been to - buckingham palace and accepted his majesty the king's invitation to form a government in his name. it is only right to explain why i am

on using a personal email address for official documents. elsewhere in the cabinet, dominic raab has been reappointed justice secretary and deputy prime minister — positions he held under borisjohnson, and ben wallace keeps his job as defence secretary moments ago it was announced that michael gove returns to front line politics to the job he held michael gove returns to front line politics to thejob he held under borisjohnson, levelling up secretary. let's get more from chris now. what do you make of the way rishi sunak�*s government is shaping up so far? this is an attempt to assemble a team in a range of shades of blue if you like, a conservative coalition and why? because the new prime minister wants to bind as many wings of his parliamentary party into his project, to try to ensure they will

back him. crucially, because he wants to emphasise stability, the retention ofjeremy hunt as chancellor but as you refer to, the real eye—catcher is the reappointment of suella braverman as home secretary less than a week after she left the home office. at the door will have barely a shot at the door will have barely a shot at the home office marking her departure and she's pushing it back to go in. elsewhere, as we look around whitehall, a reminder of the turbulence over recent months, gillian keegan, that fifth education secretary for england in the last four months, if i've done my maths right. again, a reminder of the balance between rishi sunak wanting to assemble a team he feels is right, whilst at the same time trying to project stability at a time of constantly swirling change. as you mentioned, breaking in the last couple of minutes, the reappointment of michael gove, a big beast of the conservative party and someone who can cause trouble when he is not kept busy in government,

backin he is not kept busy in government, back in government as levelling up secretary. this is rishi sunak�*s attempt to bind his party together because he knows that unless he does that, governing will be impossible. chris, we will have more from you later on but for the time being, thank you. so what do voters around the country make of the extraordinary events we've been witnessing here at westminster? worksop in bassetlaw is a former labour heartland in nottinghamshire which turned conservative in 2019. our political correspondent alex forsyth reports on how people there view britain's latest prime minister. the economic picture feels pretty scary for many right now. in worksop, these friends meet for coffee when they can. all three understand struggle, all three are sceptical when politicians promise solutions. dina said the new prime minister should visit her church to see those they are having to help.

they are working people as well as those on benefits, having to come for food and clothes now as well as furniture and pots and pans. he has money, so he's all right, but i'd like him to see what it's like for those who aren't. alison cares for the elderly in a sector she says is underpaid and overworked. we are struggling really badly. how do you feel about rishi sunak? i would have liked to have seen a general election. he was thrust upon us. i've always been conservative, always, but we are just going from one to the other. for sharron, rising bills means juggling work and looking after her granddaughter. it's very worrying. they all make promises. sometimes they keep some, sometimes they don't. - sometimes they make a complete hash of it. | you know who i'm talking about. i have just been to buckingham palace... this prime minister promised to fix the mistakes but here, talk of tough economic choices does cause concern. last time we went through austerity,

it was the working class that paid and, you know, if it comes to the working class to pay again, we haven't got it. what did you think? big words. let's see some big actions. the proof is in the pudding. with warnings of tight finances and no easy fixes, at this transport and logistics company, they want decisions that mean stability. here, they re—purpose old tyres for the renewable sector so staff understand giving things another chance — even another prime minister. during covid he was decisive and his plans were definitive and i think he needs to carry out that thought process again. he needs to let the people feel unafraid to put he needs to keep his focus on levelling up in the north. what did you make of his message about the economy and the choices how is he going to do that?

it will take some heavy lifting to offer real reassurance, causing strain for so many. the work for rishi sunak begins immediately, and there are a several major tasks coming up within the next few days, in the commons for his first prime minister's questions. friday is the deadline to call a fresh election for the northern ireland assembly at stormont, unless government there resumes. the democratic unionist party is currently blocking the formation of an executive, in protest at the post—brexit agreement, which puts a trade border between northern ireland and the british mainland. on monday, the much—anticipated fiscal statement is due. and on thursday, the bank of england will announce its update to interest rates.

the biggest challenge, as mr sunak acknowledged, will be dealing with the cost of living crisis. this morning, officialfigures further outlined the sharp squeeze on people's incomes, with some basic foods rising by more than 60% in the last year. our economics editor faisal islam assesses the task ahead. ladies are going to diva food parcel. ladies are going to diva food arcel. ~ , ._ , parcel. the new prime minister says in downin: parcel. the new prime minister says in downing street _ parcel. the new prime minister says in downing street the _ parcel. the new prime minister says in downing street the economy i parcel. the new prime minister says in downing street the economy is i parcel. the new prime minister says in downing street the economy is in| in downing street the economy is in crisis. for millions of people that's a recognition of reality in their street, that's a recognition of reality in theirstreet, most that's a recognition of reality in their street, most notably seen in their street, most notably seen in the food charities in community, like this one in county durham. food is the basic— like this one in county durham. food is the basic essential _ like this one in county durham. food is the basic essential of _ like this one in county durham. fr>r>c is the basic essential of life. it's not right that people are hungry and don't have food, that is not right. such has been the rise in prices that the statistics office is now measuring everyday inflation affecting household purchases, at

17% it's much higher than the official rate. there have been some phenomenal rises in the prices of basic foods over the past year, driven by the war in ukraine, weaker sterling and other factors. driven by the war in ukraine, weaker sterling and otherfactors. pasta is atjust sterling and otherfactors. pasta is at just under sterling and otherfactors. pasta is atjust under 60% in price, tea is “p atjust under 60% in price, tea is up 46%, meanwhile, chips cost 38% more and most basic of foodstuffs, bread, is up by a similar number. elsewhere in county durham, manufacturer of washing machines regularly visited by boris johnson expressed the need for a thorough clean—up of recent messes made in westminster. the clean-up of recent messes made in westminster-— westminster. the chaos in westminster _ westminster. the chaos in westminster will - westminster. the chaos in westminster will pass. it | westminster. the chaos in i westminster will pass. it might westminster. the chaos in - westminster will pass. it might take six months or longer but it will pass. in some ways, we probably got to get worse before we get better.

we've got to increase taxes and pay more and the people earning more have got to pay more. we've all got to accept we are in a problem. we are in a deep problem, we've got all make sacrifices, we've got to work more and pay more taxes. the challenge _ more and pay more taxes. the challenge for _ more and pay more taxes. the challenge for the _ more and pay more taxes. the challenge for the new neighbours at number ten and number 11 challenge for the new neighbours at numberten and number11 is challenge for the new neighbours at number ten and number 11 is that not everybody will be so accepting of such a sacrifice to fix a problem they admit is partly of their party's making. stability, financial credibility in the trust of the markets, these are essential and priceless commodities for any downing street team. the early signs from the currency markets and the borrowing markets are that mr sunak and mr hunt are winning them back. and that should limit the rise in borrowing costs for mortgages and businesses. but the cost is a set of tough decisions on tax rises and spending cuts required within days.

british financial markets are no longer spinning out of control, but the new pm's task now is to limit the new pm's task now is to limit the real economic damage to businesses and households. faisal islam, bbc news. well, people across the country have spent the day making their own assessments of the new prime minister. let's get the view now from our correspondents in wales, scotland and northern ireland, starting with chris page in belfast, who's been speaking to people about what mr sunak�*s appointment means for a nation which is potentially facing an election before christmas. he was supposedly knocked out but he has come off the ropes to be crowned tory champion. this mural in belfast has been repainted repeatedly as the political prize fighting in london has played out. in the student area nearby, people have various thoughts on the new prime minister and how he got the job. there is nothing democratic about that. i feel like they need to call a general election because it's crazy.

it's better than liz truss, anyway, you know. - what would you like him to prioritise for this part of the world? mainly stabilise the economy. there's a really badl drug epidemic at the minute it probably needs to be prioritised over the _ majority of things. and the most immediate issue facing rishi sunak here is that northern ireland is currently without a devolved government. the democratic unionist party says it will continue to block the formation of a power—sharing coalition until the brexit trade border with the rest of the uk is removed. this friday is the legal deadline for a devolved government to be formed following the election to the northern ireland assembly back in may, when sinn fein became the first irish nationalist party ever to win the most seats. there is next to no chance that local ministers will be moving into their offices in stormont this week. the current northern ireland secretary, chris heaton—harris, is planning to call another assembly election.

the ongoing cabinet reshuffle is causing some uncertainty but as things stand, voters are set to go back to the polls in december. 200 years ago, the union canal brought trade and prosperity here to linlithgow. these days, the economic outlook is not nearly so bright and so is rishi sunak the leader to turn things round? well, still to be proven, let's say, still to be proven. but i'm hopeful. what about yourself? i think he has been chancellor, he understands what it's about and i think he will dismantle a lot of what liz truss did that caused all the problems. we have to be serious, we can't live on borrowed money forever so, yes, let's expect cuts in the public service. well, i'm not a fan- of the tories in general but i probably would say he would be my favourite option out of all the onesl that possibly were going to stand. if you were him, what would be the first thing you would do? i would invest in social care.

i am one of these people that is for a scottish referendum. sorry, but i am. i just think we need... i never wanted brexit either and i'm sure he will make a good job as a prime minister but i trust our nicola sturgeon, you know. i love her. the issue of independence is never far from the surface of politics in scotland. for some voters it is the number one priority but even so, right now almost everyone wants to know exactly what rishi sunak is going to do about what he calls a profound economic crisis. what can a new pm do for the people of porthcawl? can he quell the storm many here feel is rising? at his cafe, mehmet counts empty tables. customers are cutting back, inflation eating up his income. he hopes rishi sunak will help and, as in the pandemic, encourage people to eat out to help out. maybe a little business like us can get some support from the

government, maybe tax—free or vat can be looked into it. annette and alice are a mother and daughter. neither is convinced that voters in wales will relate to mr sunak, or that he can relate to them. i honestly cannot see how someone with that wealth can ever really comprehend what... what life is like here? what life is like here, yeah. i think more people should be taking to the streets, to be honest, to i demand for a general election because the general people i did not vote him in. and this doesn't solve it for you, having rishi sunak as prime minister? no. in the last general election, the tories took this seat from labour, buoyed by a swell of support for borisjohnson and promises of getting brexit done. over the last three years, so much that has drained away, notjust in this seat but right around wales. to stop his party

being wiped off the map in wales, mr sunak somehow has to turn that tide. that was the latest from our correspondents around the uk. president biden has described the appointment of the uk's first prime minister of colour as "a ground—breaking milestone" and said he would call to offer his congratulations soon. mr sunak comes to office facing huge international challenges, from the war in ukraine to the global energy crisis. our diplomatic correspondent, james landale, has this analysis. we have got breaking news on who will be britain's new prime minister, rishi sunak is the name... he may be britain's fifth prime minister in six years but rishi sunak�*s arrival in downing street still made headlines. world leaders offered their congratulations even if they didn't quite get his name right. i have seen sunuk is now the prime minister. pretty astounding.

a ground—breaking milestone and it matters, it matters. and notjust in america. history has been scripted. in britain as rishi sunak... the fact that mr sunak is a british asian resonated around the world, especially in india where the prime minister, narendra modi, spoke of the living bridge of uk indians that he hoped could transform historic ties into a modern partnership with britain. but mr sunak takes office while a war rages in europe. and for all the warm welcome, many leadersjust want to know his policy on this and other international challenges. the prime minister may struggle to be as popular in kyiv as borisjohnson, but he has made clear he will reinforce britain's total support for ukraine. in a tweet, president zelensky congratulated mr sunak and said he was ready to continue strengthening the strategic partnership between

ukraine and britain. but supporting ukraine in the long run will cost money, largely from the coffers of the ministry of defence and on this, mr sunak�*s plans a re less clear. liz truss promised to spend 3% of national wealth on defence, a huge increase, as much as £100 billion a year. mr sunak dismissed that as an arbitrary target. mr sunak will also have to deal with china, which recently launched missiles into the sea near taiwan. he says china is a long—term threat to britain but it is also a trading partner and getting the balance right will not be easy. and then there is europe. mr sunak campaigned as a committed brexiteer but some in the eu are hoping he will adopt a more pragmatic approach on energy prices and trade disputes left over from brexit. ultimately, what many foreign leaders want to know is whether mr sunak can give britain the political stability his predecessors have not.

james landale, bbc news. there are cabinet appointments going on in the building behind me. penny mordaunt remains leader of the commons, steve barclay as health secretary and kemi badenoch remains as international trade secretary. let's get a final thought on all of this with chris mason. a busy night and very busy few days ahead too. i think we will hear more appointments this evening and into tomorrow at the lower ranks of we're still here in downing street, where the new prime minister rishi sunak has been assembling his new cabinet — with a number of appointments into the top jobs in government. jeremy hunt stays as the chancellor, james cleverly keeps his job as foreign secretary and suella braverman is back as home secretary. ben wallace stays as defence secretary, dominic raab returns as justice secretary and deputy prime minister — and grant shapps is the new business secretary. penny mordaunt, who dropped

out of the contest — which allowed rishi sunak a clear path to number 10 — keeps her role as leader of the house of commons. she might have been hoping for more than that, perhaps foreign secretary, did not get it. simon hart has been appointed the chief whip, a key role kemi badenoch keeps her role as international trade secretary. gillian keegan the new education secretary, male stride the work and pensions secretary. therese coffey, a big friend of the former minister liz truss and a former ally of hers, she stays in the cabinet as environment secretary and steve barclay is back as health secretary. simon hart has been appointed the chief whip, a key role

in maintaining party discipline. oliver dowden has been appointed the cabinet office minister and nadhim zahawi will remain in cabinet, despite initially backing borisjohnson in the leadership race. he's been made a minister without portfolio, which grants him a cabinet position with no specific responsibilities, and also party chairman. i'm joined now by our political correspondentjonathan blake. what is your assessment of this new cabinet? a lot of old faces in the new cabinet. it cabinet? a lot of old faces in the new cabinet-— new cabinet. it is a familiar cabinet despite _ new cabinet. it is a familiar cabinet despite big - new cabinet. it is a familiar| cabinet despite big changes new cabinet. it is a familiar- cabinet despite big changes that rishi sunak has implement it in his top team. there are a lot of recognisable senior ministers, even from liz truss's cabinet or boris johnson's cabinet before that. there is no red rising stars you feel have got a big promotion, is no red rising stars you feel have gota big promotion, no is no red rising stars you feel have got a big promotion, no big stars brought in who have perhaps clearly served in government as an old hand or some thejunior and his served in government as an old hand or some the junior and his serial ranks to get a big job, but some

significant changes definitely. coming to those in a second full support stressing who he is kept in post, most importantjeremy hunt as chancellor. that crucial brief at the moment as he peers to give the big statement will, we assume still happening at the end of this month, on the 31st of october, signalling that they will not be any sniffing and change in the tax and spend approach and the approach to the economy at such a difficult time overall. defence secretary ben wallace staying in post, which you would expect, during the current war in ukraine, with the crisis unfolding there and also james cleverly as foreign secretary staying in post. in terms of staying who comes in, suella braverman returns as home secretary. she only left a week ago under controversial circumstances, she has been brought back. they were already seizing on this, saying, hang on, rishi sunak was talking about a government of integrity, and here you are, so that he resigned from government, by

their own admission, with a breach of security which could have been a breach of the material code
