and dangerous". hello and welcome. rishi sunak is spending his first night as prime minister in downing street after being officially appointed by king charles on tuesday morning. the 42—year—old who's the country's youngest leader in modern times and the only ever prime minister of colour, spent much of the day appointing his government ministers. and he's already held phone calls with world leaders, including the us and ukrainian presidents. we'll be live in westminster for the very latest on those developments in a few moments, but first our political editor chris mason looks back on the day's events. 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. 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 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 two jobs 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. our political correspondent jonathan blake is in westminster. some familiarfaces some familiar faces and a lot of them, i think served in boris johnson and liz truss's cabinets as well. what is the reaction been? opposition parties of seized studded with labour saying that rishi sunak is standing outside number ten in his maiden speech as prime minister and sing that is going to govern with integrity and honesty and then

appoints suella braverman who less than a week ago, resigned from government for breaking, potentially breaking and ministerial code in breaking and ministerial code in breaking the rules and a potential security breach over a personal e—mail address for official government documents. so, that's providing political criticism from labour number opposition parties but it's the only real controversial appointment, if you like in rishi sunak�*s cabinet and one that's attracting attention. beyond that, all the faces look pretty familiar. and liz truss's or borisjohnson�*s before her, michael gove coming back is levelling of secretary means that we merely see that 2019 manifest of the conservatives were elected on in borisjohnson centrepiece policy agenda coming back to the forefront but beyond that, clearly, the

priority for rishi sunak seems to be continuity in making the most experience in government even if the opposition would criticise the way the conservatives of government of the conservatives of government of the last few years and see this as more ofjust the same. he the last few years and see this as more ofjust the same. he wanted to show unity but _ more ofjust the same. he wanted to show unity but philosophically, - more ofjust the same. he wanted to show unity but philosophically, what| show unity but philosophically, what divisions are there that was making wanted a big ten croup and suella braverman is wanting to reduce migration and have a chance lou wants to increase migration for the crew and the economy. what are the potential issues exist within the cabinet? ., ., ., cabinet? you have potential flashpoints _ cabinet? you have potential flashpoints looking - cabinet? you have potential flashpoints looking ahead i cabinet? you have potential. flashpoints looking ahead that cabinet? you have potential- flashpoints looking ahead that could come to at around the

i think it is interesting to see that these allegations are coming as ukrainians are going ahead with this counteroffensive they�* re ukrainians are going ahead with this counteroffensive they're taking back territory that is been under russian occupation and now all focuses on one of the four regions that president putin claims to have annexed. kherson. ukrainians are making advances taking back territory there in that part of the country. so, ithink territory there in that part of the country. so, i think that fear here and it is the fear that is being voiced by some western countries as well as that russia may use this dirty bomb allegation as a pretext for an escalation in this war. ukraine has urged its citizens who are abroad not to return until the spring, to help ease the pressure on the severely damaged energy system. the appeal comes after president zelensky said that russian missile and drone attacks on power plants and other infrastructure had destroyed a third of the country's energy sector. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: as rishi sunak

becomes britain's third prime minister in seven weeks, we'll talk live to the woman who served as private secretary to two previous conservative prime ministers, margaret thatcher and john major. indira gandhi, ruler of the world's largest democracy, died today. only yesterday, she'd spoken of dying in the service of a country and said, i would be proud of it, every drop of my blood will contribute to the growth of this nation. after 46 years of unhappiness, these two countries have concluded a chapter of history. astronaut heroes and one american legend. well, enjoying the show is right, this is beautiful.

a milestone in human history. born today, this girl in india is the seven billionth person on the planet. this is bbc news, the latest headlines. five palestinians, including at least three gunmen, have been killed in a major israeli raid, against a militant group in the occupied west bank. the israelis carried out the raid in the city of nablus, and claimed they were acting against militants, who've been carrying out attacks on israeli soldiers and civilians. palestininans say it's one of the biggest israeli offensives in more than a decade. from nablus, our middle east correspondent tom bateman reports on the latest violence. explosion israel's special forces move in after midnight.

they say they've come to target the leader of the lions�* den, a rising palestinian military group. palestinians use loudspeakers for a call to defend the city. and many answer. gunfights break out between militants and israeli troops. israel's search and arrest raids in the occupied west bank have been mounting for months and this was one of the biggest in years, killing five, including the militant commander. with the strike now closing shops, people emerged to streets cleared of trade but full of the talk of death. the lions�* den rejects the traditional palestinian leadership and has rapidly grown a popular base. israel says this was the group�*s bomb factory. rayek lives next door and told me he was blown out of bed by the missile strike.

"i saw it come in. all this glass fell on us," he says. "the building exploded. we took the kids and we ran downstairs." the big fear now is of a much further collapse into violence, and that is because you have a new generation of militants prepared, willing to fire at the israelis during these raids. and the israelis using a level of force here that hasn�*t been seen in the west bank in years. at the funerals there are calls to resist. "for every one who dies," this boy tells me, "there will be ten more ready to fight." israel says it will keep striking

the stories and on the website. if you�*re watching abroad on bbc delco. we are back with another papers in a minute. and we will see you then. hello. we�*re going to see out the rest of the month with temperatures above where we might expect them to be for this time of year by day and by night. staying unsettled, a windier day again for wednesday, the chance of catching a shower after some early wet weather clears away. the bulk of the wet weather from this area of low pressure coming through overnight and into the first part of wednesday morning. before then, sunshine and the chance of catching a blustery shower. and, if anything, temperatures edge up a few degrees in the next couple of days. we are drawing the air up into the uk from a long way south of us. and these are the starting temperatures for wednesday morning,

for the most part in double figures. now, we have got some rain into scotland that will push into the northern isles, clearing shetland in the afternoon. a band of showers across all parts following on behind. but look at the timeline. this is lunchtime, and then into the afternoon, it is sunny spells. showers mainly in scotland and northern ireland, some heavy and thundery, a few pushing into wales and western parts of england. but the further east you are, the bulk of the afternoon could well be dry. these are average wind speeds. gusts are going to be higher. coastal gales through the irish sea, some gusts in the western isles to around 50 miles an hour or so. out of that breeze and in the sunshine, there�*ll be some warmth around in the afternoon in parts of eastern and southeast england, notjust wednesday, but for the rest of the week. a few spots will get to 20, if not a bit higher than that. as we go on through wednesday night and into thursday morning, we�*ll see cloud and rain gathering and starting to push up across parts of england and wales. another weather front mayjust bring some rain into the far west

of northern ireland and northwest scotland early on thursday. another very mild start. so cloud and outbreaks of rain to clear away from england and wales on thursday and a brighter, dry afternoon following. some of that rain pushing through northern ireland into scotland, where we keep a lot of cloud around into the afternoon. and again, these temperatures are well above the long—term average. now, looking at the big picture going into friday, low pressure weather fronts again, with a lot of the wet weather, though, again going through overnight and into friday morning, clearing from scotland and northern england, for example, quite quickly on friday morning. maybe just a weaker area of showers for east anglia and the southeast — not much in the way of rainfall here. then it�*s a case of sunny spells, the chance of a shower, though many places with a dry afternoon, before some rain edges back towards southern areas later on friday. for the weekend, staying unsettled, yes. it does look like a lot of the wet weather, though, will move through overnight saturday and into sunday morning before clearing to sunny spells and showers.

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, who�*s chief economist at the new economics foundation, a left—leaning economics think tank. welcome back to you both. a few more papers are already in. let�*s just look at some of the front pages now. once again, the story that features heavily on the majority of the frontpages is britain�*s new prime minister. the metro pictures rishi sunak meeting king charles as he forms a new conservative government.
