Good morning, I'm Naz with Thursday's Newsround!

:00:09.:00:14.

First up, a new day and a new Prime Minister.

:00:15.:00:16.

It's the first full day in the job for Theresa May.

:00:17.:00:19.

She took over from David Cameron last night and says she wants

:00:20.:00:22.

to build a UK for everyone. Here's what happened.

:00:23.:00:26.

We will make Britain a country that works not for a privileged few

:00:27.:00:29.

That was the moment the new Prime Minister walked

:00:30.:00:38.

into her new home, 10 Downing Street.

:00:39.:00:40.

Mrs May has taken over as Prime Minister.

:00:41.:00:42.

The last person in charge was David Cameron.

:00:43.:00:44.

He decided to resign after the big vote when the UK decided

:00:45.:00:47.

He is one of the youngest prime ministers this country has ever had.

:00:48.:00:56.

After six years and 62 days in Downing Street,

:00:57.:00:59.

and when you were probably having your tea, David Cameron

:01:00.:01:01.

said his final words as the leader of the UK.

:01:02.:01:05.

It has been the greatest honour of my life to serve our country

:01:06.:01:08.

as Prime Minister over the last six years.

:01:09.:01:14.

Now, whenever there is a change of Prime Minister or Government,

:01:15.:01:17.

the person leaving and the one taking over have to

David Cameron, his wife and children went to Buckingham Palace to see her

:01:20.:01:31.

merger to and officially stepped down from his job. Theresa May was

:01:32.:01:36.

next to see the Queen and that was her big moment. She became the new

:01:37.:01:41.

Conservative Prime Minister. Mrs May left the palace and returned to ten

:01:42.:01:45.

Downing St, where she started picking her top team. One is Boris

:01:46.:01:49.

Johnson, who many thought would be the next Prime Minister. Now she is

:01:50.:01:55.

there, she will start work as only the UK's second female Prime

:01:56.:01:59.

Minister. Her biggest job? Sorting out how the UK weaves the European

:02:00.:02:06.

Union. But don't worry about Larry, the Downing Street cat, he will be

:02:07.:02:07.

staying right where he is. Next, something BIG is happening

:02:08.:02:12.

beneath the streets of London. Deep underground the UK is buiilding

:02:13.:02:15.

a giant new underground Here's CBBC's super scientific

:02:16.:02:17.

reporter Fran Scott on what goes I'm right in the centre of London

:02:18.:02:21.

at Farringdon station. And it might look like everything

:02:22.:02:27.

is normal here but beneath my feet, the biggest building

:02:28.:02:30.

project in Europe is going The massive project to build this

:02:31.:02:32.

new train line for And in the summer of 2012,

:02:33.:02:43.

while London was hosting the Olympics, massive

:02:44.:02:47.

machines started digging. It has taken well over

:02:48.:02:52.

20,000 workers, over 100 million hours of work,

:02:53.:02:54.

and they've had to move millions of tonnes of mud

:02:55.:02:58.

in the 42 kilometre route. The digging finally

:02:59.:03:02.

finished right here, where the tunnelling

:03:03.:03:08.

machine, called Tory, broke through to reach this -

:03:09.:03:10.

what will become the new Farringdon Now, they're working on getting

:03:11.:03:13.

seven new stations ready So, how do you go

:03:14.:03:26.

from this... Chloe is one of many engineers

:03:27.:03:29.

working to make that happen. So, an essential part of any railway

:03:30.:03:34.

is the actual track. We're going to lay ours right

:03:35.:03:36.

here where we are walking. So we won't be able to walk

:03:37.:03:39.

here in the future? No - trains will be running

:03:40.:03:42.

through this tunnel, picking up passengers and taking

:03:43.:03:44.

them to their destinations. Chloe, this looks incredible.

:03:45.:03:46.

What is it? This is a temporary shaft,

:03:47.:03:49.

it won't be part of We use them during construction

:03:50.:03:52.

to bring materials in and out You just crane them in?

:03:53.:03:56.

Yes. That's brilliant! This is one of our escalator tunnels

:03:57.:04:01.

here at Farringdon. What you can see now is the final

concrete lining being put on top of the orange

:04:07.:04:10.

waterproofing. This will eventually be one

:04:11.:04:12.

of the access points There are lots of parts that make

:04:13.:04:16.

up a working station, but this one will not be ready

:04:17.:04:24.

for us to use for another 2-3 years. Which is a good job because there

:04:25.:04:28.

are still lots to do. Some people in Colorado in America

:04:29.:04:31.

are used to seeing grizzly bears, but somehow, THIS bear

:04:32.:04:39.

managed to lock itself in a car, despite not

:04:40.:04:41.

breaking any windows... Don't worry, though,

:04:42.:04:43.

the bear was unharmed. That's all from me, Newsround's back
