The Prime Minister unveils his biggest ever cabinet reshuffle

:00:00.:00:00.

- with some surprises. Michael Gove does get a new job -

:00:00.:00:14.

but was it what he was expecting? No longer Education Secretary,

:00:15.:00:17.

now Chief Whip. Nicky Morgan takes over as

:00:18.:00:19.

Education Secretary, one of two new women in the cabinet.

:00:20.:00:24.

I think it is a team that reflects modern Britain and it's only

:00:25.:00:26.

by reflecting modern Britain that we'll get the best for our country.

:00:27.:00:30.

We'll be looking at the key changes in the reshuffle

:00:31.:00:33.

and their political impact. Also tonight.

:00:34.:00:36.

:01:19.:01:34.

Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

:01:35.:01:39.

It's the most significant reshuffle of his cabinet since the prime

:01:40.:01:42.

minister came to power, and with ten months until the general election,

:01:43.:01:45.

David Cameron has unveiled a line up with a very different look.

:01:46.:01:48.

He's swept away some of the old guard, increased

:01:49.:01:51.

the number of women in cabinet from three to five and, in the biggest

:01:52.:01:55.

surprise, moved Michael Gove from his job as Education Secretary.

:01:56.:01:58.

He now becomes chief whip. His replacement, Nicky Morgan, who's

:01:59.:02:03.

only been a minister for 9 months. William Hague will be replaced as

:02:04.:02:07.

Foreign Secretary by Philip Hammond. He vacates his job as Defence

:02:08.:02:10.

Secretary to make way for former energy minister Michael Fallon.

:02:11.:02:12.

Here's our Political Editor Nick Robinson.

:02:13.:02:18.

We counted them in and we counted them out. The minister sacked or

:02:19.:02:25.

moved today, mostly men, and the ones promoted, some of them were

:02:26.:02:29.

women. In a reshuffle bigger and more wide-ranging than anybody

:02:30.:02:33.

expected. The big surprise of the day was the promotion of this woman,

:02:34.:02:38.

Nicky Morgan, the first of three to get significant promotions. She got

:02:39.:02:46.

Michael Gove's job. Michael is saying goodbye after four years in

:02:47.:02:50.

charge of English schools, after picking one too many fights with

:02:51.:02:53.

teachers, the Liberal Democrats and even his own Cabinet colleagues.

:02:54.:02:59.

Outside the Department for Education today, one teacher spoke for the

:03:00.:03:03.

many who hoped that the new minister in charge would be less

:03:04.:03:09.

confrontational. His attitude towards the unions was not very

:03:10.:03:13.

good, not very constructive, oppositional, yes, it is a good

:03:14.:03:16.

change. Hopefully somebody that comes along willing to work with the

:03:17.:03:22.

unions. If you think you have seen the last of Michael Gove think

:03:23.:03:27.

again. He has got a new job as Chief Whip in charge of discipline, among

:03:28.:03:31.

the Tory MPs, and we are told, is the government 's public face. On

:03:32.:03:39.

television. This is a demotion? I do not regard it as much, it is a

:03:40.:03:43.

wrench to leave a job I enjoy but I regard this as an exciting and

:03:44.:03:46.

flattering opportunity to contribute at the heart of government. The

:03:47.:03:53.

teachers are celebrating, he has gone! Sorts of reasons. His boss

:03:54.:03:59.

says he wants his friend by his side in the run-up to the election. I

:04:00.:04:04.

wanted one of my big hitters and my real stars, my great political

:04:05.:04:08.

brains, somebody who has done extraordinary things Bridge occasion

:04:09.:04:13.

:04:26.:04:28.

The new Defence Secretary Britain if we are ever at war again.

:04:29.:04:32.

Fallon, replacing Philip Hammond, the new Foreign Secretary. Tories

:04:33.:04:36.

say he is more Eurosceptic even than William Hague. He once said he would

:04:37.:04:40.

vote to leave the EU if it could not be reformed. I do not think the way

:04:41.:04:45.

to enter negotiations is to issue threat, the way to enter is to look

:04:46.:04:51.

for the areas where we do agree, and there are many issues where Britain

:04:52.:04:54.

is not isolated, where there are other members of the European Union

:04:55.:04:57.

that also understand the need for reform. Is for William Hague he will

:04:58.:05:03.

be spending much more time at home. As Leader of the Commons and another

:05:04.:05:07.

key figure in their pre-election campaign -- is for him. What of the

:05:08.:05:10.

promised that more women would take their place at the top table? Liz

:05:11.:05:15.

Truss will be needing her wellies as the new Environment Secretary, and

:05:16.:05:20.

this is the new leader of the House of Lords. Welfare Minister Esther

:05:21.:05:26.

McVey will only attend Cabinet, but hers is a face and a voice you will

:05:27.:05:30.

soon be familiar with. We all have dreams. The former television

on the basis of their talent. This is the most important thing. Labour

:05:48.:05:53.

are not impressed. Politics has to look and sound like Britain, and

:05:54.:05:57.

three quarters of the Cabinet are men, it falls short. Look at the

:05:58.:06:01.

Labour Party, half and half men and women. There was one other important

:06:02.:06:08.

announcement, on the day the European Parliament confirmed

:06:09.:06:11.

Jean-Claude Juncker, a man David Cameron try to stop, is the top man

:06:12.:06:16.

in Brussels, Lord Hill, who was Leader of the Lords, will now work

:06:17.:06:19.

with him, as Britain's European Commissioner. Any reshuffle

:06:20.:06:24.

with him, as Britain's European usually goes wrong in some way, the

:06:25.:06:27.

worst that happened today was a new cabinet minister trying to get into

:06:28.:06:31.

the wrong car. The worst so far, that is.

:06:32.:06:39.

During his four years as Education Secretary, Michael Gove was one of

:06:40.:06:43.

the most radical and controversial members of the cabinet.

:06:44.:06:46.

As well as bringing in major changes to exams and the curriculum,

:06:47.:06:48.

he introduced free-schools. But Mr Gove's appetite

:06:49.:06:50.

for reform alienated many teachers. Our Education correspondent

:06:51.:06:53.

Alex Forsythe went to a school in south London to gauge reaction

:06:54.:06:54.

to Mr Gove's departure. Our Education correspondent

:06:55.:06:59.

Alex Forsythe went to a school It is in classrooms that the changes

:07:00.:07:01.

wrought by Michael Gove have been most keenly felt. In four years in

:07:02.:07:06.

charge he has relentlessly followed his vision for education. Changing

:07:07.:07:10.

not only what happens in schools, but also the way that they are run.

:07:11.:07:14.

Attracting both support and criticism along the way. Michael

:07:15.:07:20.

Gove has become a figure that you love or hate, allowing his

:07:21.:07:23.

personality, the way he presents his policies to become the central

:07:24.:07:27.

issue. But it is his policies that Michael Gove will want to be

:07:28.:07:31.

remembered for. He introduced free schools which have more say over

:07:32.:07:37.

what they can teach. The expanded Academy 's free from council control

:07:38.:07:40.

and he toughened up GCSE and A-level exams. His detractors accused him of

:07:41.:07:50.

changing too much too quickly. He is intensely disliked by teaching

:07:51.:07:54.

unions, who today celebrated his departure. I think Michael Gove is

:07:55.:07:59.

the most popular Secretary of State for education with teachers and

:08:00.:08:02.

those that work in education I have ever seen. But those in favour of

:08:03.:08:09.

Michael Gove's reforms are just as enthusiastic in their backing.

:08:10.:08:16.

Already almost 200 free schools are open, while some controversial, most

:08:17.:08:24.

are oversubscribed, it is just what some supporters see is his legacy.

:08:25.:08:29.

He has been looking to drive up standards. There are no more changes

:08:30.:08:34.

he can make, he has been a great force for change in education, it is

:08:35.:08:37.

better to go on to go onto something else. Now he has moved on and this

:08:38.:08:43.

is his replacement, Nicky Morgan. A former Treasury Minister with a

:08:44.:08:47.

young son, who's risen quickly and quietly in Westminster since she was

:08:48.:08:56.

acted in 2010. It is unlikely Nicky Morgan will undo Michael Gove's

:08:57.:08:59.

reforms, in fact it is thought he is a supporter -- she's a supporter.

:09:00.:09:04.

With less than one year until the general election, there's no doubt

:09:05.:09:08.

it is hoped having somebody less controversial will help win back

:09:09.:09:11.

some support, not least from teachers.

:09:12.:09:13.

to Mr Gove's departure. Nick Robinson is in Downing Street.

:09:14.:09:20.

At Westminster, rather. David Cameron were saying, the new cabinet

:09:21.:09:26.

reflects modern Britain. I gather there is a row about this already?

:09:27.:09:31.

There is, I said at the end of my report nothing had gone wrong save a

:09:32.:09:34.

minister getting in the wrong car. It has now gone wrong. One of those

:09:35.:09:40.

women, appointed to an important job, leader of the House of Lords,

:09:41.:09:46.

Tina stole, it emerged she was not a full member of the Cabinet. So what

:09:47.:09:50.

you might say, she still gets to go to the Cabinet. Until it emerged she

:09:51.:09:54.

was paid less, less than her male predecessor. On the day you are

:09:55.:10:00.

trying to impress by employing more women, and putting them around the

:10:01.:10:04.

top table, it is not the ideal signal to send. In the last few

:10:05.:10:07.

minutes it has emerged the Conservative Party will top up

:10:08.:10:11.

official funding to make sure that the lead of the Lords is paid the

:10:12.:10:17.

same as her predecessor. Official civil service rules put a limit on

:10:18.:10:20.

the number of people that can have full Cabinet jobs and a limit on the

:10:21.:10:24.

amount of money that therefore can be spent. It is a reminder, that so

:10:25.:10:29.

much of this reshuffle is looking ahead to the next general election.

:10:30.:10:34.

Dealing with problems, Michael Gove had become a problem in education.

:10:35.:10:39.

And also strengthening the voices and the faces and the image if you

:10:40.:10:43.

like of the Conservative Party. But before you dismiss it all, is so

:10:44.:10:46.

much windowdressing, remember tonight, in England at least, there

:10:47.:10:51.

is a new Minister for schools. There is for the whole of the UK a new

:10:52.:10:55.

Defence Secretary and a new Foreign Secretary, these are men and women

:10:56.:10:59.

who will take decisions that will affect all of our lives. Thank you

:11:00.:11:01.

for joining us. What looked

:11:02.:11:09.

like a possible ceasefire between Israel and Palestinian militants has

:11:10.:11:11.

proved a forlorn hope. After seven days of violence,

:11:12.:11:14.

Israel had accepted a ceasefire if missile attacks from Gaza stopped.

:11:15.:11:19.

They didn't - and Israel retaliated. The new Egyptian government

:11:20.:11:21.

attempted to broker the truce. The ceasefire should've have started

:11:22.:11:25.

this morning at nine local time. Israel agreed it

:11:26.:11:28.

and ceased fire just before then. But the militant group Hamas

:11:29.:11:31.

rejected the plan - they still want prisoners released and an end to

:11:32.:11:36.

Israel Egypt's blockade of Gaza. They've continued to fire

:11:37.:11:41.

missiles at Israel. One place hit was the southern

:11:42.:11:44.

Israeli city of Ashkelon. Quentin Sommerville was there.

:11:45.:11:50.

Bringing the battle between Israel and Hamas under control was never

:11:51.:11:56.

going to be easy. SHOUTING By the early afternoon the

:11:57.:11:59.

cease-fire plans were already in ruins. A rocket from Gaza narrowly

:12:00.:12:06.

missed this Israel fuel depot, one of dozens launched while Israel

:12:07.:12:10.

observed the truce. There are about 20 firefighters here, they think the

:12:11.:12:14.

rocket landed somewhere over there. They are trying to hold back the

:12:15.:12:17.

fire because they are worried about fuel tanks over there. They are

:12:18.:12:20.

dousing the area with water trying to stop it from spreading. It is

:12:21.:12:26.

about four hours since Israel agreed to the Egyptian cease-fire

:12:27.:12:29.

proposals, Hamas says it was not even a party to the talks. The

:12:30.:12:35.

rockets continue to hit Israel. They soon found the remains of the

:12:36.:12:39.

rocket, it had been intercepted by an Israeli missile. TRANSLATION

:12:40.:12:45.

We know the other side is not interested in a cease-fire, we can

:12:46.:12:48.

see that, we are prepared for normal fighting to resume. EXPLOSIONS

:12:49.:12:54.

Resume it did, Israel hit Gaza with more than half a dozen air strikes,

:12:55.:12:58.

yet more Palestinians were killed. The cease-fire was over in six

:12:59.:13:02.

hours, Hamas says it was not genuine from the start. TRANSLATION

:13:03.:13:09.

The cease-fire proposal was discussed by everybody apart from

:13:10.:13:12.

us, Kerry, Benjamin Netanyahu, Egypt, but not Hamas. We will

:13:13.:13:20.

continue fighting, to better our conditions. This cease-fire proposal

:13:21.:13:24.

is like an ambush. From the Israeli side of the boars are -- of the

:13:25.:13:30.

border, this man has a farm. By the afternoon the rockets and the bombs

:13:31.:13:37.

were flying both ways. Violence gives more violence and more

:13:38.:13:41.

violence. This failed cease-fire or will make things even worse.

:13:42.:13:50.

Quentin Sommerville was there. And there are a series

:13:51.:13:52.

of special reports on the Middle East crisis on the BBC website,

:13:53.:13:55.

including all the background, and guides to the key players -

:13:56.:13:59.

that's at bbc.co.uk/middleeast There's been an unexpected

:14:00.:14:04.

and sharp rise in inflation. It rose from 1.5% in May to 1.9%

:14:05.:14:07.

in June - which could increase the prospect of

:14:08.:14:10.

interest rates going up this year. And UK house priced keep rising.

:14:11.:14:13.

Our Economics Correspondent Simon Jack is with me.

:14:14.:14:16.

What has been driving the spike in inflation? The weather, what has it

:14:17.:14:22.

got to do with that, well clothing and footwear were some of the

:14:23.:14:26.

reasons that prices have risen. Retailers, because the weather has

:14:27.:14:29.

been nice, they have been holding off on the clearance sales, whereas

:14:30.:14:34.

last year we went earlier, we are comparing June prices this year,

:14:35.:14:38.

with prices last year which make them seem more expensive. Looking at

:14:39.:14:42.

this trend, it has been markedly down. You can see the spike we are

:14:43.:14:46.

talking about, a couple of reasons this could be temporarily. The

:14:47.:14:50.

effect we have talked about will reverse next month when we get the

:14:51.:14:54.

July sale prices. The pound is very strong against other currencies,

:14:55.:14:57.

everything we import, will get much cheaper. What will the Bank of

:14:58.:15:04.

England make of this? Even at 1.9% it is below the official target of

:15:05.:15:08.

2%, yes they are worried about house prices but they are taking separate

:15:09.:15:12.

action. Will this change the timing, probably not, best guess, end of

:15:13.:15:13.

this year. Children at a school in Bradford are

:15:14.:15:27.

at possible risk of Islamic extremism, according to a leaked

:15:28.:15:30.

OFSTED report seen by the BBC. The report suggests that, amongst

:15:31.:15:32.

other things, governors at the school wanted to restrict Religious

:15:33.:15:35.

Education courses solely to Islam. Carlton Bolling college is

:15:36.:15:37.

a secondary school with an overwhelmingly Muslim intake.

:15:38.:15:40.

Bradford Council denies there is an Islamic agenda in any of its schools

:15:41.:15:43.

but says it is moving to replace the school's governing body.

:15:44.:15:44.

Ed Thomas reports:. Are said to be at risk of Islamic

:15:45.:15:53.

extremism, the report says that: In response, the leader of Bradford

:15:54.:16:22.

Council says that he will replace the governors. I am upset that we

:16:23.:16:28.

seem to have a governing body that was allowing the educational needs

:16:29.:16:36.

of the young people to be de-prioritised. Has this city got a

:16:37.:16:41.

grip of its schools? We have a grip for all of the schools for which we

:16:42.:16:46.

are responsible. The BBC has spoken exclusively to a former governor at

:16:47.:16:51.

the college, because she is worried about Jos? V, we have protected her

:16:52.:16:55.

identity. It is a secular state school, it is not a state school --

:16:56.:17:01.

faith school. -- because she is worried about her safety. This

:17:02.:17:10.

report says the school and its leadership and governing body are

:17:11.:17:14.

inadequate, it says that some decisions taken near accommodate

:17:15.:17:17.

Muslim pupils and do not take account of a small group of Eastern

:17:18.:17:22.

European and white British children. This is the chair of the governors

:17:23.:17:28.

of the college, he was not available for an interview but he told us that

:17:29.:17:31.

the Ofsted report was full of inaccuracies. And all of

:17:32.:17:34.

the Ofsted report was full of only weeks after inspectors said

:17:35.:17:38.

that some academy schools in Birmingham were vulnerable to

:17:39.:17:42.

extremism. But in Bradford, some said that this was a good school.

:17:43.:17:48.

Does this school have an Islamic agenda? No, no problem at all. It

:17:49.:17:55.

seems to be an Islamic bomb has gone off all of a sudden all over the

:17:56.:18:00.

world, all over schools. Do you think Muslims are being victimised?

:18:01.:18:06.

Definitely. The Department for Education has confirmed it has

:18:07.:18:08.

received an application to remove the governing body and is

:18:09.:18:10.

considering what to do next. Top story this evening: David

:18:11.:18:21.

Cameron reshuffled his cabinet in a surprisingly, Michael Gove leaves

no-show for Mo Farah at the Commonwealth Games.

:18:46.:18:54.

People using payday lenders are to see the cost of borrowing fall

:18:55.:18:59.

significantly from next year. The Financial Conduct Authority is

:19:00.:19:07.

proposing a cap which means no one will have to pay more than ?24

:19:08.:19:12.

a month for a 100 pound loan. It also says penalties

:19:13.:19:20.

for late payments should be limited to just ?15.

:19:21.:19:21.

Swansea, thousands of lives here have been blighted by excessive high

:19:22.:19:27.

cost payday debts, aggrieved borrowers indices out city have been

:19:28.:19:35.

demanding a cap on costs. We managed to get a lot of the payday companies

:19:36.:19:39.

to stop but we need more control. This mother of two lead the campaign

:19:40.:19:42.

in Swansea after the shock of borrowing for Christmas and seeing

:19:43.:19:45.

her debt spiral when she had trouble paying back. I was depressed, I went

:19:46.:19:52.

into a depression, I would not leave the house, I would not speak to

:19:53.:19:57.

anybody. How much more than you borrowed did you have to pay back?

:19:58.:20:00.

Sometimes double the amount, sometimes more with the late judges

:20:01.:20:05.

I would pay back on top. If you wanted to borrow ?100, until

:20:06.:20:11.

payday... This is how the costs will mount up: Typically that would cost

:20:12.:20:16.

you ?30, and more than ?70 in plenty of cases, if you agreed to extend

:20:17.:20:23.

it, and even more than ?90 in sum, if you paid the money back a couple

:20:24.:20:26.

of weeks late. The point of the cap is to prevent all of those charges

:20:27.:20:28.

from going too high. Were taken to see a group of mothers

think they should be charging at least half of what they are

charging. This and this man... We showed them what the payday industry

is saying: Lenders will close and borrowers will end up with loan

sharks. What is going to happen to those people when they need to pay

:21:01.:21:04.

bills and get access to quick cash? They will be turning to illegal

:21:05.:21:07.

lenders, they will be turning to those operating outside of the UK. I

:21:08.:21:12.

disagree with what he's saying, people have more sense than to go to

:21:13.:21:17.

loan sharks, they just need to bring their interest rates down to a

:21:18.:21:20.

reasonable level. So that it is affordable. Payday burden is

shrinking here, because some operators have stopped offering the

loans, the cap is likely to what about 40% of the industry. -- the

new cap is likely to wipe out. Some Premier League football clubs

Paralympic gold medallist Tony Grey Thompson said Manchester United was

:21:51.:21:58.

one of the clubs falling short. It said today that it catered for all

:21:59.:22:02.

categories of disabled fans. What we have here is a debate, not just

:22:03.:22:06.

about access to tickets but the kind of tickets disable fans have

:22:07.:22:12.

available to them. -- Tanni Grey-Thompson. It boils down to a

:22:13.:22:19.

lack of urgency to address the issue and a lack of disabled places in

:22:20.:22:25.

Premier League football ground. They are one of the richest and most

:22:26.:22:29.

recognisable clubs in the world, but in the week that Manchester United

:22:30.:22:33.

signed a record kit deal worth ?750 million, they have been accused by

:22:34.:22:40.

one of the most high-profile former athletes and campaigners in the

:22:41.:22:43.

country of letting down disabled fans. Some clubs are treating

:22:44.:22:52.

disabled fans very unfairly, they are discriminatory, it is hard to

:22:53.:22:55.

pin them down, it has some of them are behind-the-scenes. But I would

:22:56.:23:00.

just say, across the board, the vast majority of Premier League clubs are

:23:01.:23:03.

not being fair to disabled people. In March the BBC revealed that only

:23:04.:23:07.

tree Premier League clubs offered the required number of wheelchair

:23:08.:23:11.

spaces, today's debate has shifted the focus on the provision of

:23:12.:23:15.

tickets, where several clubs have different policies for disabled and

:23:16.:23:18.

non-disabled supporters. They had of the arrival of the club 's new

manager, Louis van Gaal, Manchester United have announced they have sold

:23:23.:23:25.

out of all 55,000 season tickets in record time, giving those fans

:23:26.:23:31.

access to all home games. New season tickets are not available to the

disabled supporters, instead, they must join a row to skin, giving them

access to one in three games. Manchester United have said in a

statement: -- Campaigners are arguing that

same thing keeps driving you, you want to keep winning medals. As the

eyes of the Commonwealth fall on Glasgow, one of Scotland's brightest

Relaxing away from the range, she admits that it is a pressure that he

relishes. It drives me a little bit more, it makes me work harder. It

pushes me that tiny little extra bit. It will make a big difference

at the end of the day. I have always been around the Commonwealth games.

My mum won her first medal in 1994, I was three years old. It has been

shoot because it was there a thing but she came back with medals and I

wanted one! This year they will go head-to-head. My baby sister, five

years younger, I do feel protective of her, I love her dearly, but at

that. -- I know that I'm better than that,
