it is michael gove's._ michael gove's.ng in communities is a department that has got a lotta things coming down the track, so it is one of those departments that is really vital in doing things to do with the levelling up agenda borisjohnson talks about, his aim of levelling up the country. the communities department is really instrumental in that, so obviously he wants someone who is really a doer in there. it is also notable in announcing his appointment, downing street also says that michael gove takes on a cross governmental responsibility for levelling up, it like that very clearly, and says he maintains industrial responsibility for the union and four elections. they are also notjust the levelling up agenda, also some pretty controversial planning reforms the government has suggested they wanted to put forward, which have not gone down at all well with conservative backbenchers and that is something that will land on michael gove's plate now as well, to try to placate those and get them on side to get those and get t

i think michael gove - i was going to mo. i think that's right. i think michael gove will.me of the other who clearly have a history. but they do have that history together, so i think he would have sounded him out. yes, on the face of it, going to the housing department is seen as a demotion, but actually, in terms of the agenda and the things the government wants to talk about, there's a real need to build more houses in the country. the plan has not worked and needs to be sold much better to conservatives. he's got all of that on his plate in that department. he's also got the cross government leveling up, the mantra of boris johnson's government leveling up, the mantra of borisjohnson's government, which has to be made real and has to mean something to voters in a couple of years' time. then he's got the union as well to discuss. a really big challenge with the assent of the pro—independence in scotland. i think presented to him in the right way and given the space to go and fix these issues, that would've been quite a good sell for michael gove. i think that department

it follow the appointment of michael gove as housing secretary. liz truss, and new housing secretary michael gove. let's talk to our political correspondent nick eardley. the planning reforms that the government has been trying to push through for the last few months were really controversial. they are basically designed to allow the government to meet its target of building 300,000 extra houses per year. but they were really unpopular in many local communities who felt that it could mean new housing developments being imposed on them. and perhaps most significantly in the context, really unpopular amongst conservative mps, many of whom believe that this was a massive mistake and could have a huge impact on their constituencies. michael gove given the newjob in control of housing on wednesday and already he has decided to pause those reforms. not to cancel them completely, not to completely scrap them, but to take stock and speak to some of those conservatives who are deeply unhappy with the plans, to see what the next move should be. in the last c

in his new role as housing secretary, michael gove has paused controversial government planning reformsps and understand their concerns. here's our political correspondent nick eardley. borisjohnson has promised to build 300,000 extra houses a year by 2025, and to do that, he was planning to liberalise planning laws to make it much easier for developers to build new buildings in certain parts of england. but that plan was extremely controversial, not least among conservative mps. they feared it would undermine local democracy, and here at westminster — perhaps just as significantly — they feared it would have a big impact on the conservative party in the south of england, as well. when the housing secretary robert jenrick was sacked on wednesday, there was a lot of speculation that this could open the door to a rethink on those plans, and it seems that michael gove is at least prepared to think about the idea of redoing these plans in a slightly different way. i understand that he has paused putting these plans through parliament, he wants to speak to conservative mps to figure out what

michael gove, doesn't quite fit into that. he certainly is not been a loyalist.ths and years which then brings us to the second theory that i've heard about this reshuffle which is boris johnson is going for doers. people that see the world the same way as him and whether you like the reforms that they've got in mind are not the kind of people that you could trust like most do not michael gove. his supporters would say it's sort of get things done. even if you don't particularly like those things that he would get them done. absolutely intriguing, the relationship between borisjohnson and michael gove, my goodness that could be a play there. could knit or something? we should write that. we are the doers. it's a month to the day since the taliban stormed into kabul and the president ashraf ghani fled to take refuge in the united arab emirates. there is no longer any credible military challenge to taliban rule. but there are plenty of daunting problems ahead. they face a mounting economic crisis, internally, there are cracks beginning to show in the taliban leader

i think probably michael gove, actually.ings that are not exceptionally hard, whether it is planning, whether it is some of the leasehold reform stuff, whether it is the really challenging question, particularly for lots of people living in cities, of cladding. there is a range of challenges for michael gove and i think the other challenge he has got is he is in charge of levelling up. and i think it is a lot harder to do a levelling up strategy when different places and communities have different levelling up challenges and the issue is to let a thousand flowers bloom, i think, and that means having a national architecture of levelling up goals but then allowing local communities to really work out for themselves how they put those plans in place. the role of government on levelling up is actually to be an enabler rather than a director on levelling up and i think that is michael gove's challenge. now you know the department for education and the school system like the back of your hand, having been the education secretary.

back then, borisjohnson and michael gove were prominent figures in the leave campaign, and they claimedft the eu. their argument then was rooted in what they say as the possible benefits of leaving the eu's internal energy market. this is a mechanisim that allows eu nations to trade between each other at auctions which then determine the price of fuel. the idea is to share burden of any supply issues and price surges across the eu. borisjohnson argued leaving that market would allow the uk to purchase energy at cheaper prices. but there were warnings that it wouldnt be that simple. there was this 2016 report from kpmg. it stressed that there won't always be cheap prices, and that price surges could be a big risk. it said... but does what's happening now show the risks of being outside this market. dharshini david. are those factors that are just described relevant to what's happening right now? described relevant to what's hauenina riaht now? �* , happening right now? anybody opening in ener: bill happening right now? anybody opening in energy bill over _ happening right now? anybody op

the government pauses controversial planning reforms, after the appointment of michael gove as housing

the new housing secretary, michael gove, has decided to "pause" controversial government planning reformse mps who've voiced their concerns about the proposals. the governmemt has pledged to build 300,000 new homes a year. the united nations says failure to cut greenhouse gas emissions, is setting the world on a catastrophic path of global warming. un scientists have studied the climate plans of more than a hundred countries, and say pledges made to curb emissions won't meet the ambitions of the paris climate change agreement, signed in 2015. millions living in kenya are already having to adapt to more svere droughts and less intense rainy seasons. as delegates prepare for next month's un climate change summit in glasgow, our africa correspondent, vivienne nunis, reports now on kenya's struggles against global warming. 0n the front line of climate change, a seven—hour trek brings something to drink. this grandmother is part the turkana community, the million people who have lived off this land for centuries. life here has never been easy, but recent droughts have robbed these pastoralists

hotly tipped to be demoted from the education department and there are so many rumours that around michael govesocial media might be running every single department by the end of this week. if you are watching and thinking why does this matter? somebody i have not really heard of being replaced by somebody else i have not really heard of. this matters. new people bring new ideas to all departments and also new people bring potential new conflicts with the prime minister over the next few years. adam, thank you very much indeed. we will be back with you if we get any more details during the programme. government scientific advisers are warning there could be a big wave of hospital admissions for covid—i9 next month in england, but they say that surge could be a avoided with some light—touch restrictions. modelling from the government's sage advisory committee suggests hospitalisations could increase from about 1,700 a day in england to as many as 7,000. —— from 700 to 7000. there are fears the virus will spread more rapidly with children going back to school and staff returning to the workplace.

know, conference, i didn't think it would be possible to find a worse education secretary than michael govehing their heads in disbelief. disbelief that a minister could be so hopeless. and disbelief that it took so long for him to be sacked. gavin williamson and the conservative party don't listen to parents. we must. if parents want a fair deal for their children's education the education of all children in our country the party that has proven that it cares and has exciting new ideas, let it be the liberal democrats they look to for the future of education. applause and my first speech as leader, i promised to be the voice of carers. so when i sat in the house of commons listening to borisjohnson blustering away about his so—called care social care plan, which is an unfair tax rise for workers and businesses, i thought of the hundreds of carers i've spoken to over the last year, the millions of people across the country who at that very moment we are making big sacrifices, struggling to make ends meet, and feeling utterly exhausted, as they do all they can to look after their loved ones.
