postings on social media welcome to our viewers on pbs in america and around the globe. britain's new prime minister, rishi sunak, has moved into number 10 downing street, and spent most of his first day in office appointing senior members of his government. on arriving in downing street he said the uk was facing a �*profound economic crisis�*, and he made a point of saying that he needed to repair the damage caused by some of the policies of his predecessor liz truss. here's 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. chris mason there. well rishi sunak has spoken on the phone to president biden, who's described his appointment, as �*a groundbreaking milestone�*. mr sunak 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. rashi, rashi sanuk 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. 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. russian missile and drone attacks on power plants and other infrastructure have reportedly destroyed a third of the country's energy sector. five people, including at least three palestinian gunmen have been killed in an israeli raid against a militant group in the occupied west bank. it follows the killing of an israeli soldier earlier this month. 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. speaks arabic. and many answer. gunfire. 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, that hasn�*t been seen in the west bank in years. some here mourning say it adds to the group�*s appeal.

"for everyone who dies," this boy tells me, "there will be ten more ready to fight." israel says it will keep striking hard to counter the threat, but the queues of mourners are growing let�*s get some of the day�*s other news. a plane carrying the body of a prominent pakistani television presenter who was shot by police in kenya, has touched down in islamabad. arshad sharif was killed on sunday when the car he was in sped through a checkpoint outside the kenyan capital nairobi. an investigation is underway. talks aimed at ending ethiopia�*s civil war are underway in south africa. the head of the african union says he�*s encouraged by early signs of a commitment to peace by the government delegation and rival tigray forces. fighting in and around ethiopia�*s northern tigray region has left tens of thousands dead and created a humanitarian emergency in its aftermath.

nasa has unveiled a prototype lunar rover with living space for astronauts. the move is part of the agency�*s push to send astronauts to the moon for the first time in half a century under its artemis project. the rover was put on display in the us state of arizona, this vehicle can crawl across rocks, drive in all directions, and comes complete with a toilet. wednesday marks a0 days since the death of the young iranian woman mahsa amini. her death while in custody of iran�*s morality police sparked nationwide protests that are now in their sixth week. a0 days after someone has died is significant in iran as it marks the end of the mourning period. i asked our news reporter azadeh moshiri what we can expect, given the day of mourning. authorities tend to be very concerned when it comes to funerals, or any sort of mourning ceremonies for that matter, because they tend to turn into protests. that�*s been happening in the last six weeks, people chanting anti—government slogans, women have started taking their hijabs off

and it tends to galvanise more anti—government sentiment. because this is a0 days, as you said, one of the most significant days in the mourning period, and it is for mahsa amini, the same woman who triggered these nationwide protests. it�*s going to concern the government a lot so they�*ve taken certain steps to mitigate what they think could be renewed protests. that includes, for example, the iranian state tv broadcasting a statement from her family saying they aren�*t going to mark the ceremony, which is unusual, and they said i don�*t want any trouble. of course certain rights groups are saying it was a coerced statement. in some other provinces like kurdistan, the government has decided to shut down schools for that day. they say it�*s because of an influenza outbreak but of course schools are a gathering place a lot of these protesters, students tend to be at the heart of these protests,

but despite all ofthis mitigation and all these decisions the government has taken, civil unions within iran are still calling on more protests. more generally, how are protests now, do they still have momentum, or are they fading out a bit? they haven�*t lost any steam. this week we�*ve seen more protests in universities, two of them in tehran, one in alborz, and the crackdown is continuing as well, there is one instance that is concerned people and that�*s security forces strip searching schoolgirls in a school in tehran, sadr school, and that�*s seemingly because they are trying to avoid students bringing in mobile phones into schools, because they don�*t want protests and scenes of defiance to be broadcast. given the a0—day mark, it�*s worth taking a look and drilling down into some figures as to what this crackdown has looked like these past six weeks. according to the ngo group iran human rights, at least 23a people have been killed during these protests.

they also say that that figure includes 29 children. now in terms of attentions, 12,500 people have been arrested, many of them held in the infamous evin prison. there is also a crackdown going on against the press, with a aa detained, according to the committee to protect journalists. there are still censorship, with the government blocking all vpns and international messaging services. aside from all this, the bbc has also received reports of beatings, even of young schoolgirls, so in short, no, these protests have not lost steam, protesters are still calling for change, still rejecting the system of the islamic republic and that�*s why this crackdown is happening. azadeh moshiri there.

designs, and then earlier this month, he turned up at a paris fashion show, wearing a white lives matterjacket, and it was at that point that adidas said it was putting their relationship under review and then came the anti—semitic comments in social media that saw him banned from a twitter and facebook and instagram as well. and now we hear that they have indeed reached that decision to end what has been quite a long—term relationship with kanye west, now ye, with adidas saying that his comments were unacceptable, hateful and dangerous. and they are indeed not the first company to take this decision. you mentioned gap removing his products, the company in los angeles and other major cities, caa, the talent agency has dropped him. it seems that his many commercial partnerships are imploding. have we heard from ye about this end of partnership yet?

we have not heard directly from him. so how do these partnership contracts work? i spoke to entertainment and fashion lawyer melissa dagodag. i think our viewers would really be interested to know that there is a clause that�*s called a moralist clause or a morality clause, and it dictates that the person under contract, like ye in this example, must adhere to certain behavioural standards, and if they fail to adhere to those standards, then the contract can be terminated, typically right away and more over, those clauses are usually written in favour of the company or the brand, like adidas, so that they have great latitude to be able to terminate the agreement at their sole discretion. and do they have to define what the behavioural standard is in advance or is it up to their interpretation? if the clause is well written, when a lot of money is involved — in these contracts it usually is — adidas would have great latitude so that they do not have to specify the reason, except that the moral clause has been violated and, typically, that language would include something like the fact that if it tends to put the brand

in a bad light, then that is sufficient enough for them to be able to terminate. so they can decide that. ye has been no stranger to controversy in recent years. adidas must have just decided that the risk was worth it? agreed. this controversy has been kind of looming over the years, with regard to his anti—semitic remarks, unfortunately, so they finally took action which i think most people would agree is a good thing. melissa dagodag. tyson fury is one of the biggest names in boxing. he�*s a two—time world heavyweight champion and a fan favourite. he�*s also a bit of a crooner. famously, after big fights, he�*ll serenade the crowd. now he�*s releasing his first single — hoping to raise awareness surrounding mental health. the bbc�*s tim allman reports. inside the ring, �*the gypsy king�* is a force to be reckoned with — powerful, remorseless, a formidable opponent, but away from boxing,

tyson fury is a more sensitive soul... # reaching out, touching me... not content with being a world champion, he now wants to be a pugilist pop star. # sweet caroline, good times never seemed so good... releasing a cover version of neil diamond�*s sweet caroline for a very important cause. i have been very vocal about the mental health struggle. it�*s been widely printed, highs and lows, ups and downs, so i have tried my utmost best to keep talking about it as much as i can and keep trying to smash the stigma, i suppose. first released in 1969, sweet caroline has already been covered by some of the greats — elvis presley, andy williams and. . . david hasselhoff.

the song already has strong ties to sport — the boston red sox fans sing it at every game at fenway park, england�*s footballers took it up as an anthem on their way to the final of last year�*s european championships. as for tyson fury, flying the flag for mental health is one thing but that is not his only motivation... i�*ve always wanted to be a singer even though i�*m quite (bleep) at it. my wife keeps saying, "fake it till you make it" so i�*m the next tom jones i believe. # i�*ve been inclined to believe they never would... this unique musical rendition is due to be released next month, all proceeds going to charity. no doubt �*the gypsy king�* is hoping it�*ll be a knockout. tim allman, bbc news. tuesday the 25th of october was the day rishi sunak became britain�*s new prime minister. we leave you with images

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 south—east england, not just 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 may just bring some rain 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 south—east — 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.
