our coverage begins in downing street with alan fisher. he joins us now on this. certainly a sense of optimism and positivity around richie soon acts appointment, but as no getting away from the scale of challenges facing him. that's right. the often see there are no 2nd acts in politics, but she soon act has proven that there can actually be it's just 6 weeks ago that he lost the leadership election till his trust. at that point, he'd won that the majority of support from conservator and peas, but that didn't translate to members of the party. this time round, it was up to m p 's to try and put names forward to get past a 100 m p support barrier. only one m p managed to do that. that was where she cynic, who will soon become the next prime minister of the u. k. a northern ireland paul brennan has been following to these developments for a party which is as the 2 of its own prime ministers in the past year. it was a remarkable veneer of camaraderie for the arrival of p. m. number 3 at party headquarters in london to 7 weeks after being beaten in the previous leade

the live pictures we can see there of the outside of 10 downing street. there's a podium that's been set up, the staff from dining street have been, are gathering outside just this is a very well coordinated kind of thing. when we go through this transport of power, talk us through what's going to be happening while we wait for this truck to come out and make her farewell speech. well, there's trust that has in fact, made her already some address to the cabinet who assembled just over an hour ago. and now we're anticipating that she will come out having served the shortest term for a prime minister in u. k. history. she is going to come out to say good bye to the british public. we've got no idea on the advance notice of what she's going to say. but really, it's a pretty well subdued atmosphere. number of m. p 's waiting to the right of not but tens door. looking on a waiting for her to walk out. from here, she will go to buckingham palace, anamosa cade and meet king charles a 3rd and tender her resignation. ah, he will then await. the next person for an a

lizzy burden is outside downing street. you have the president of the united states criticizing the prime minister of the u.k. and taxes are set to go up. this is everything the tories are not, which is prudent and in control. lizzy: yes, even though it was politically humiliating to have to sack her close friend and political soulmate and to reverse the tax freeze and admit she needs to raise corporation tax, really it does very little to balance the books. our economists say she needs to find a 24 billion pounds worth of savings. as you heard from the new chancellor jeremy hunt, it seems more u-turns are coming and we are expecting him to speak today. as a result of all of this, the army hunt seems to be the most powerful figure in the government, which begs the question, what is the point of having liz truss at the top? three tory mps have already said publicly she needs to go. behind the scenes, mps are asking themselves should they roll the dice on a new leader now? perhaps jeremy hunt or other figures who ran for lead

it all starts in downing street 10 downing street with less trust, the outgoing prime minister, the shortest serving prime minister in british political history. she will assemble the cabinet for the last farewell. it will be brief. she will say good bye to the staff also and then appear. it's expected. she'll appear here in downing street at the lectern at omega a speech that will be probably quite brief. she will then go to buckingham palace, where king charles a 3rd is expecting an audience with her, and she will formally resign from the government. she is already resigned as prime minister with a notice that she would stay in place until her replacement was found. that will be a fairly brief affair of following protocol, and she will then leave and then re she sumac or the man who she'd beaten in the election or challenger or for leadership, or over the summer with the membership of the conservative party. but he was the choice of the parliamentary party and now it's all coming to fruition for him. he will be going to meet king charles and receive an invitation to form a government, whic

[shouting] >> mr. speaker, my record is clear. when times are difficult in this country i will always protect the most vulnerable. that is a value, we did it in covid and we will do it again. >> let's test that. the government currently allows very rich people to live here but register abroad for tax purposes. i don't need to explain to the prime minister how status works, he knows all about that. it cost the treasury 3. 2 billion pounds every year. why doesn't he put his mouth where his money where his mouth is and get rid of it? >> mister speaker, we will have to take difficult decisions to restore

another financial crisis that he'll face when he finally walks through the door of number 10, downing street as prime minister. and he acknowledged that in the very short speech he made to a party member, seeing that there were tough economic choices ahead of ill, perhaps elaborate the or not more when he actually gets here to downing street the time table for that is still not entirely clear but of course, 1st, let's trust us to leave number 10 as prime minister for the last time, a go to buckingham palace and hand to resignation to king charles. he will then invite, wishes to night, along and tell him that it's his turn to form a government that might not be big changes in the mean offices of state, such as chancellor, the exchequer, and also a home secretary, interior minister. but there could be changes at the foreign ministry. that's because james cleverly, who was appointed by liz trust to be foreign secretary, he openly supported boris johnson and his attempt to try and stage a political resurrection. so expect perhaps changes there, but he's got to put it together his team very quick

tim willcox is in downing street for us this evening.t is the greatest challenge facing the new prime minister? tim: there are herculean challenges ahead. it is interesting that rishi sunak in the last couple of hours when he made that very short speech to his supporters at tory central office a few hundred yards from where i am now, his message was very much unite or die. that is from the tory party which has been through so much turmoil over the last couple of months. only a couple of months ago, liz truss was speaking to the late queen when she took over from boris johnson. now just within two months, rishi sunak will be addressing the country again from the same lectern she used just a few days ago, trying to outline his vision which will be one of stability. if early indications are correct, it seems the markets are looking at rishi sunak as a man who can stabilize things in terms of economic policy. as i say, those challenges are huge. if you look at the polls for example, when you look at the people in those seats that boris johns
