well it's round the corner from downing street under simmons is outside parliament on college green in westminster and what will to reason may's legacy be. well hold i guess see will be one of public service failure really she's a passionate politician she cared a lot for the deprived but she failed to deliver on what she promised because she was targeted by the heartbreaks it's called and failed to come down on them in a hefty way i've just been speaking actually to one of her speech rights is in the early days chief speech writer in the early days of a prime ministers. and he says that brady she when he 1st met her back in 2002 and he wrote a speech for which actually referred to the gnostic party everyone will remember that certainly in the u.k. anyway she was taking on the conservative party but when he was disappointed to to write a speech as prime minister he was surprised a very short space of time to realise that she was more loyal to the policy than only to give it a shake that's an interesting thing but apart from that she. wants what was regarded in british politics as the l

i'm sally bundock in downing street. braced for boris — later today mrjohnson will officially become britain's next prime minister. i'm ben thompson, live in london, and that's our top story on wednesday 24th july. borisjohnson will begin forming his new government later after he succeeding theresa may as prime minister. he'll take office this afternoon after meeting with the queen at buckingham palace. all eyes will be on who mrjohnson chooses for key roles, including chancellor, and home secretary. but what does the johnson government mean for brexit, trade and the economy? we'll get an expert view from london, and from brussels. hello and welcome to business live. i have to say is getting warm here right now in downing street. as you can see, it's really busy here right now as well. a lot of media have gathered because later on today the country is newly elected leader of the conservative party borisjohnson will enter the door, number ten, behind me as the uk's next prime minister. brexit is the biggest issue that he

she doesn't have much longer in downing street, so it isjeremy hunt or boris johnson, in downing streetrisjohnson, and they've been having another debate tonight and according to the sun, love and peace has broken out between the two of them. not sure about that! i think the start of the debate was quite testy. jeremy hunt said boris johnson is someone that puts a smile on yourface but johnson is someone that puts a smile on your face but not someone you wa nt on your face but not someone you want getting into the nitty—gritty and details, so not quite the love then... not quite everything's perfect. but obviously next week one of these people is going to be leader and it looks likely to be borisjohnson, so leader and it looks likely to be boris johnson, so possiblyjeremy hunt is limiting his attacks because he wants to stay in the cabinet. that's a bit of a confusing, misleading headline. sounds like he has grown in the towel.|j misleading headline. sounds like he has grown in the towel. i certainly don't think he's done that yet, but there's an element, asjohn says, of looking ahead t

the united kingdom has a new prime minister — borisjohnson is in downing street.e is the queen's 14th prime minister. he says he'll succeed on brexit where theresa may failed. we're going to fulfill the repeated promises of parliament to the people and come out of the eu on october 31st, no ifs or buts. but he'll face obstacles. climate change protesters in his path today — but there'll be opposition on brexit too — even within his own party. an ambition achieved — inside number ten as prime minister. this evening we'll know some of those who'lljoin him around the cabinet table. mrjohnson says the work starts now. there were pledges on the police, on the nhs and on schools. for theresa may, three turbulent years in charge are over — but she has no regrets. to serve as prime minister of the united kingdom is the greatest honour. the heavy responsibilities are outweighed by the huge potential to serve your country. also tonight — it's hot today and will be even hotter tomorrow. the met office says we could hit an all time record tomorrow — there's fun to be had, but

pretty warm here in downing street. with just a gentle breeze.you talk of a historic day, in terms of temperature records, tomorrow could be historic, with record—breaking temperatures expected across the south—east of england. last night, you may have noticed there were a few thunder storms. around 45, 50,000 lightning strikes, with the storms moving north and eastwards. a very warm night last night as well. we had the highestjuly temperature night last night as well. we had the highest july temperature recorded night last night as well. we had the highestjuly temperature recorded in jersey yesterday. but over the next few days, as i mentioned, record—breaking heat expected. for the rest of this afternoon, still a bit of cloud in western areas and scotland. showers moving northwards here. some showers in northern ireland and western scotland this afternoon. but not as hot today. the mid 20s in scotland. the high 20s in the south—east of england. tonight, we will continue with a bit of cloud in western areas. otherwise some clear skies. not as ho

there's nothing this man wants more than the keys to number 10 downing street where they take the keys out there that. they wanted and fortunately for boris johnson the keys to this forklift truck off found although he's on course to be britain's next prime minister his drive towards the top job has been a little bumpy. around with his girlfriend that went public threaten to derail his leadership bid. when britain's ambassador to the u.s. became embroiled in a diplomatic spat with president donald trump johnson was criticized for failing to give him his full support being better he was even heckled about it in a recent tory leadership posturing. thank you mr johnson has though been very clear about one thing that the u.k. must leave the european union by halloween with or without a deal of to 3 years to listed lines we must leave the e.u. on october 30. 6th he's been criticized for his lack of detail how would you handle paragraph 5 c. i would i would confide entirely in paragraph 5 b. because that is the how would you get round watson 5 c. i would confide entirely in paragraph 5 b. wh

and addressed us as outside downing street and addressed us as prime ministerfor outside downingster for the first time asa us as prime minister for the first time as a country so in and of itself that is an enormous achievement, but he's only there, because of theresa may's failure to deliver brexit. that is what has meant his party is willing to give them a try, to take what many of them a try, to take what many of them believe is a big gamble, because as brexit‘s chief cheerleader, there's a sense which people think, it is mess, he created it, and for those who believe in that course, many of them so passionately, he's a person above all else who should be the one who is responsible for what they hope will be deliver —— delivering the opportunities that are there to be grasped, but make no mistake, it will be a very difficult political task. that is notjust because the tory party is divided over europe as it has been for so long. it is not just because there are lots of people in the tory party you don't trust him, but because the government barely has a majority to speak of.
