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. rishi sunak enters number 10, setting the tone for his premiership, and trying to distance himself, from the actions of his predecessors. he's the youngest prime minister in 200 years, the first british—asian to achieve the highest office, and he's already the second prime minister of the king's reign. among the new appointments, dominic raab is back as deputy prime minister, suella braverman is back at the home office, despite having broken the ministerial code last week, and michael gove is back, three months

after he was sacked by boris johnson. the dilemmas of government are instant. who to hire and who to fire as rishi sunak attempts to build a team that can last that his party can support. we'll have the latest on the new cabinet, and on the immediate challenges for mr sunak — he says the uk is facing a �*profound economic crisis�*. as the cost of living crisis affects more and more people, with budget food prices rocketing to new levels, voters are very concerned. you can see it on the shelves when you go into the supermarket. 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. and, as the uk sees its third prime minister of 2022, we'll talk to people in nottinghamshire about their hopes and coming up in the sport on the bbc news channel,

chelsea on cloud nine as they qualify for the champions league knockouts courtesy of this quality curlerfrom kai havertz. good evening. britain's new prime minister, rishi sunak, has moved into number 10, and he's spent most of the day appointing senior members of the government. 0n arriving in downing street this morning, he said the uk was facing a �*profound economic crisis�*, and he made a point of saying that he'd need to repair the damage caused, by some of the policies of his predecessor liz truss. the top cabinet appointments announced today are being scrutinised for what they say about mr sunak�*s priorities. let's ta ke let's take a look. jeremy hunt will stay

in his post as chancellor, he was appointed just a few weeks ago after the failed mini—budget. james cleverly keeps his job as foreign secretary, despite supporting borisjohnson for the leadership. and suella braverman, who resigned days ago after breaking the ministerial code, is back in the same job as home secretary, a decision that's drawn heavy criticism from the opposition. also in the new team are dominic raab, he's deputy prime minister and justice secretary, michael gove returns to cabinet as levelling up secretary, just a few months after he was sacked by borisjohnson, and penny mordaunt stays as leader of the commons, she was a leadership contender, and it's being widely reported that she was expecting promotion to a more senior post. tonight we'll have the latest on the new appointments, and on the immediate challenges for the sunak government. we'll start with the story of the day, with our political editor chris mason.

11:50, this morning, downing street's security gates had swung open, the motorcade swept in, heralding another new arrival here. here he comes, rishi sunak, walking up downing street alone to the podium to address the country for the first time as prime 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'm standing here as your new prime minister. right now, our country is facing a profound economic crisis. a businesslike, sober tone, a blunt, direct assessment of the country's predicament and future. i want to pay tribute to my predecessor, liz truss. she was not wrong to want to improve

growth in this country, but some mistakes were made, and i have been elected as leader of my party and your prime minister, in part, to fix them. this will mean difficult decisions to come. translation — spending cuts and/or tax rises appear likely. and here's why the new prime minister doesn't think there needs to be a general election. the conservatives won the last one, he said, not borisjohnson. the mandate my party earned in 2019 is not the sole property of any one individual. he concluded by addressing the political crisis that has raged in recent weeks. i understand, too, that i have work to do to restore trust after all that has happened.

all i can say is that i am not daunted. we will create a future worthy of the sacrifices so many have made, and fill tomorrow and every day thereafter with hope. thank you. the era, or at least, stint of rishi sunak begins. an extraordinary moment. he was plunged into the political wilderness just weeks ago and now he is prime minister. his task colossal. the photographers shouted at the prime minister, asking for a smile. cheer up, rishi! he pretty much resisted. before the day's big moment, the now familiar

choreography of the day with two prime ministers. 0ne choreography of the day with two prime ministers. one out ahead of the other in. not every moment is riveting. oh, and if you've ever wondered what political failure looks like, this is it — a removal van turning up in downing street. ah, it's our old friend, the lectern, and we've seen rather a lot of it in recent weeks. here it comes, back out into the street again for liz truss�*s goodbye speech. the outgoing prime minister's closest colleagues gather, her deputy therese coffey turning photographer. here we go. here she comes. accompanying her and watching from the pavement, her husband and daughters. it has been a huge honour to be prime minister of this great country. in just a short period, this government has acted urgently and decisively on the side of hard—working families and

businesses. liz truss brought defiance, not apology, and an instinct her defining aim was right. from my time as prime minister, i am more convinced than ever that we need to be bold. we simply cannot afford to be a low—growth country where the government takes up an increasing share of our national wealth. our country continues to battle through a storm. but i believe in britain, i believe in the british people. and i know that brighter days lie ahead. thank you. a prime minister departs just seven weeks after she arrived. this moment capturing the unprecedented turbulence that has gripped british politics and captured international attention for all the wrong reasons. moments later, herfinal act as prime minister, a trip to buckingham palace to resign.

the king would later ask rishi sunak to form a government. this photo confirming him as our new prime minister. we've had 12 years now of conservative failure and we're now on to our third conservative prime minister in three months. they don't have a mandate to govern. rishi sunak himself has no mandate. the real problem we have — this isn't one prime minister changing during the lifetime of a parliament. this is the third prime minister in the space of two months. rishi sunak has asked today - for the british people to trust him. yet the conservatives won't put their trust i in the british people by giving them a say in a general election. - people are worried sick out there. there are millions of struggling families and pensioners. - they need more help. tonight the new cabinet has taken shape. jeremy hunt remains as chancellor. are you pleased, mr cleverly? james cleverly remains as foreign secretary. dominic raab is back in twojobs

he's done before — deputy prime minister and justice secretary. and talk of returning to an old patch — michael gove is back as levelling up secretary. the most eye catching appointment is suella braverman. just last wednesday she was out as home secretary. six days later, she's back as home secretary. rishi sunak is in number 10. the first big decisions of his premiership taken. there'll be plenty more where they came from. let's rejoin chris in downing street. can i start straightaway with possibly the most controversial appointment, that is suella braverman. you said it was eye—catching. some labour people would have stronger words than that. i'm wondering where you think that appointment lies within the context of this cabinet? i appointment lies within the context of this cabinet?— of this cabinet? i think it is the first flashpoint _ of this cabinet? i think it is the first flashpoint really _ of this cabinet? i think it is the first flashpoint really that - of this cabinet? i think it is the first flashpoint really that this | first flashpoint really that this new government will encounter, i think we can expect labour to pick it up as a point of contention to

argue over in the coming days. why? simply because firstly the astonishing nature of the revolving door at the home office, that this time last week suella braverman was the home secretary, right now she is the home secretary, right now she is the home secretary but between those two points she was out of the home office with the previous prime minister telling her she had broken the ministerial code twice and yet a matter of days later she is back in. there is some concern on the conservative backbenches. some say it rishi sunak is going to make a great play for integrity, then how does he square that with such a rapid reappointment of suella braverman? labour, isuspect, will make a similar argument and trying to press for direct answers from the prime minister.— prime minister. that is one appointment. _ prime minister. that is one appointment, let's - prime minister. that is one appointment, let's look - prime minister. that is one appointment, let's look at | prime minister. that is one i appointment, let's look at the broader picture, and the way that the other appointments have been made. what are you reading into the general shape of this cabinet? i

think what we have here is an attempt from the prime minister to cast as broadly as he can within the conservative family. the greatest range, if you like, of shades of blue and to an extent that explains his desire to bring suella braverman, a flag bearer on the right of the party, back into the tent will stop it also explains, you mentioned a few moments ago, james cleverly staying as foreign secretary, as recently as sunday afternoon he wanted borisjohnson to be the next prime minister, not rishi sunak. i think what he is attempting to do, the new prime minister, is learn a key lesson that critics of his predecessor feel that she ignored, which is that sense if you build too much in your image and freeze out those in your party who may not share your philosophy it spells trouble, and this matters because stability for rishi sunak is a basic building block of being able to govern. it's not enough to be able to govern successfully but it

is necessary to even start the process. is necessary to even start the rocess. , ., ~ ., ., process. chris, we will talk again later. process. chris, we will talk again later- thanks _ process. chris, we will talk again later. thanks for _ process. chris, we will talk again later. thanks for now, _ process. chris, we will talk again later. thanks for now, chris - process. chris, we will talk again i later. thanks for now, chris mason, our political editor in downing street. to unite all parts, not with words but with action. in that statement in downing street, rishi sunak promised to unite all parts, not with words but with action. but to what extent did that message and the promises made, impress voters? 0ur political correspondent alex forsyth has been to the constituency of bassetlaw in nottinghamshire, a labour stronghold from 1929 until 2019, when the seat went from red to blue. 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 that 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 the heating on and worry about losing their house. 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 the government might have to make? he's telling us - what we already know. how is he going to do that? words are good, and his words were good, but i'd like to see i the plan of how he'sl going to deliver that. it will take some heavy lifting to offer real reassurance, particularly given the economic burden that is already causing strain for so many.

alex forsyth, bbc news, worksop. there's no settling in period for rishi sunak — if you look at the diary it's packed with important events from the word go. tomorrow, his first prime minister's questions in the house of commons, where he'll face the labour leader, sir keir starmer, whose party is currently enjoying a strong lead in the opinion polls. friday is the deadline for new elections to be called in northern ireland, unless the democratic unionists agree to resume their places in the power—sharing agreement at stormont. the stakes are very high there. on monday, the chancellorjeremy hunt is due to deliver a much—anticipated statement on the government's tax and spending plans. and on november 3rd, the bank

of england will announce its latest decision on interest rates. with rising inflation, and the cost of budget food rising even more rapidly, our economics editor faisal islam considers the prospects. the ladies are going to do you a food parcel. the new prime minister says in downing street, the economy is in crisis. for many millions of people that's a recognition of reality in their street, most notably seen in the food charities in every community like this one in shildon, county durham. food is a 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. pasta is upjust under 60% in price. tea is up 46%. meanwhile, chips cost 38% more, and that most basic of foodstuffs, bread, is up by a similar number, too. chicken breasts were up 10% over the year. 0rangejuice, though, was down in price, just under 9%. elsewhere in county durham, a manufacturer of washing machines, ebac, regularly visited by former pm borisjohnson, expressed the need for a thorough clean—up of recent messes made in westminster. the chaos in westminster now will pass. it might take six months, it might take longer, but it will pass. and in some ways we've probably got to get worse before we can get better. we've got to increase taxes. we've all got to pay more. and the people earning more have got to pay more. we've all got to accept we're in a problem — we're in a deep problem — of cash shortage.

we've got to all make sacrifices. we've got to work more and pay more taxes. and the challenge for the new neighbours at number 10 and number 11 is that not everybody will be so accepting of such sacrifice to fix a problem they admit is partly of their party's making. stability, financial credibility and the trust of the markets. these are essential and priceless commodities for any downing street team. and 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 for 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 real economic damage to businesses and to households. faisal islam, bbc news.

liz truss, according to her opponents, made no secret of her lack of interest in the devolved administrations in scotland, wales and northern ireland. mr sunak is being urged to try to improve relations, but at the same time he'll be opposing the scottish government's demand for another referendum on independence. while in northern ireland, the deadline fast is approaching for new elections, to break the political deadlock there. let's have the latest from linlithgow, porthcawl, and belfast, where we start with chris page. he was supposedly knocked out, but he's come off the ropes to be crowned tory champion. this mural in belfast has been repainted repeatedly as the political prizefighting in london has played out. in a student area nearby, people have various thoughts on the new prime minister and how he got thejob.

there is nothing democratic about that. i feel like they need to call a general election asap. this is better than liz truss, anyway. what would you like him to prioritise for this part of the world? just mainly stabilise the economy, to be honest. there is a really bad drug epidemic at the minute and it probably- needs prioritised over| the majority of things. the most immediate issue for rishi sunak here is the current absence of the devolved government. the democratic unionist party says it will 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 northern ireland secretary, chris heaton—harris, has retained his post

in the cabinet reshuffle. he is planning to call another assembly election, probably for the 15th of december. 200 years ago, the union canal brought trade and prosperity here to linlithgow. these days, the economic outlook is not nearly so bright. so is rishi sunak the leader to turn things around? well, still to be proven, let's say. still to be proven, but i'm hopeful. what about yourself? i think, he's been chancellor, . he understands what it's about, and i think he'll dismantle a lot of what truss did that - caused all the problems. we have to be serious, we can't live on borrowed money for ever. - 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 ones 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'm one of these people that are,

| boris got his referendum, sorry. | but i am. ijust think we need it. i never wanted brexit either. and i'm sure he'll make a good job as a prime minister, _ but i trust oor wee - 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 ours can get support

from the government. maybe tax free, or vat can be looked into. annette and alice are mother and daughter. neither is convinced voters in wales will relate to mr sunak, or that he can relate to them. i honestly can't 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 demand for a general election. because the general people didn't 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 boris johnson and promises of getting brexit done. over the last three years, so much of 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 must somehow turn that tide. studio: that was hywel griffith finishing that series of reports by our correspondence around the uk. in the past few moments the us president has called mr sunak to offer his congratulations and he says he looks forward to the two leaders working together. mr sunak spoke to president zelensky this evening. the prme minister comes to office facing a series of major challenges on the global stage, from the war in ukraine, to the global energy crisis. our diplomatic correspondent james landale explains what's ahead. we've 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. rushi 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. gunfire. 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's 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 are less clear. liz truss promised to spend 3% of national wealth on defence. that's a huge increase, as much as £100 billion a year. mr sunak dismissed that as an arbitrary target. the prime minister 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's also a trading partner, so getting the balance right won't be easy. and then there's europe. mr sunak campaigned as a committed brexiteer, but some in the eu are hoping he'll 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 more updates, news and analysis on bbc news online, that's bbc.co.uk/news, and by using the bbc news app. let's turn to some of the day's other news. five palestinians, including at least three gunmen, have been killed in a major israeli raid, against a militant group in the occupied west bank.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the journalist and author claire cohen and alfie stirling, chief economist at the new economics foundation, a left—leaning economics think tank. welcome to you both. one story again dominating all the pages. let'sjust look at what we have already got in. the story that features heavily on the majority

of the frontpages, the uk's new prime minister. the metro pictures rishi sunak meeting king charles as he forms a new conservative government.
