The new Prime Minister completes her first cabinet -

:00:00.:00:07.

with some surprises, new departments and jobs for those

:00:08.:00:09.

Among some unexpected appointments, there have been more

:00:10.:00:22.

Out goes former leadership rival Michael Gove,

:00:23.:00:28.

and Culture Secretary John Whittingdale.

:00:29.:00:33.

But in comes leadership challenger Andrea Leadsom

:00:34.:00:35.

Justine Greening as Education Secretary

:00:36.:00:40.

and Liz Truss at the Department of Justice.

:00:41.:00:44.

The new Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson brushes off some

:00:45.:00:46.

international criticism of his appointment,

:00:47.:00:48.

after his French counterpart called him a liar.

:00:49.:00:52.

It is inevitable that there is a certain amount of plaster

:00:53.:00:54.

coming off the ceiling in the chancelleries of Europe,

:00:55.:00:57.

it wasn't the result they were expecting and clearly

:00:58.:00:59.

And the new Chancellor pledges to restore confidence in the

:01:00.:01:08.

UK economy as the Bank of England defies expectations

:01:09.:01:12.

Britain will remain a very attractive place to invest,

:01:13.:01:18.

create jobs, to do business and we will take whatever steps

:01:19.:01:21.

we need to take to make sure that remains the case.

:01:22.:01:26.

Raising awareness of HIV, Prince Harry gets tested.

:01:27.:01:36.

And mind where you Go - police issue warnings

:01:37.:01:38.

that the cult Pokemon game is a risky business.

:01:39.:01:43.

And coming up in the sport on BBC News:

:01:44.:01:45.

It's day one of the 145th Open Championship at Royal Troon,

:01:46.:01:48.

and Britain's Justin Rose is among the best performers

:01:49.:01:50.

Good evening once again from Downing Street

:01:51.:02:16.

where Theresa May has completed forming her new cabinet -

:02:17.:02:19.

There have been jobs for some of those who challenged her while

:02:20.:02:25.

And jobs for Brexiteers as well as others who championed

:02:26.:02:29.

The former Justice Secretary, Michael Gove,

:02:30.:02:35.

who ran for the leadership, has gone as Justice Secretary and been

:02:36.:02:38.

replaced by the former Environment Secretary Liz Truss.

:02:39.:02:39.

The new Environment Secretary is Andrea Leadsom who, of course,

:02:40.:02:42.

also ran against Mrs May for the job of Prime Minister.

:02:43.:02:44.

Out too is Nicky Morgan as Education Secretary while Jeremy Hunt,

:02:45.:02:47.

the Health Secretary, currently embroiled in a dispute

:02:48.:02:49.

with junior doctors, stays where he is.

:02:50.:02:51.

Our political editor Laura Kuenssberg has the latest.

:02:52.:03:01.

Flowers on a day of congratulation, but commiserations as well. The

:03:02.:03:09.

busiest people in Westminster today worthy florists. Third time now. The

:03:10.:03:16.

Prime Minister was cracking on. Arriving for maybe her biggest job,

:03:17.:03:20.

getting her team right. It is not even like they get a job interview.

:03:21.:03:26.

Like Liz Truss, they turn up to find out what they have got. A cosy chat

:03:27.:03:31.

in Number Ten, and then in her case, they walk out as the new Secretary

:03:32.:03:38.

of State for Justice. Or like Justine Greening, you walk in with

:03:39.:03:40.

one cabinet post and leave with another. In her case, education. My

:03:41.:03:47.

perfect job, she said, heading straight to her new department. Are

:03:48.:03:55.

you looking forward to your new role? I am. Looking forward to

:03:56.:03:59.

getting on with the job. No time to waste. Reshuffles are strange days.

:04:00.:04:08.

Imagine being Damian Green, a senior MP walking at Whitehall, hoping but

:04:09.:04:11.

not really knowing if you are heading for the Cabinet. Who knows?

:04:12.:04:17.

Half an hour later, in charge of the Department for Work and Pensions,

:04:18.:04:21.

leaving in the Minister's are. But a politician who has had few doubts

:04:22.:04:29.

about his suitability for high office was enjoying his first day.

:04:30.:04:32.

It has been a very, very busy first day for me here at the Foreign

:04:33.:04:36.

Office, and it began with a big speech to about 700 of our staff. I

:04:37.:04:41.

set out what I think we need to be doing, what we need to be focusing

:04:42.:04:46.

on, and that is reshaping Britain's global profile and identity, as a

:04:47.:04:53.

great global player. So who else is in? Philip Hammond is the

:04:54.:04:56.

Chancellor, essentially the number two. Amber Rudd is the Home

:04:57.:05:01.

Secretary. Eurosceptic Andrea Leadsom moves into the Cabinet in

:05:02.:05:05.

charge of rural affairs. After some confusion over his role, Jeremy Hunt

:05:06.:05:12.

stays at health. Priti Patel, also part of the out campaign is promoted

:05:13.:05:18.

to defeat, the department which runs overseas aid. -- deep ID. Chris

:05:19.:05:26.

Grayling is in charge of transport. Today's losers did not have defaced

:05:27.:05:30.

the Downing Street wall of shame -- walk of shame. Theresa May told

:05:31.:05:34.

people of their services were required. George Osborne, the

:05:35.:05:41.

Chancellor for 60 years, is out, the biggest casualty. Michael Gove, his

:05:42.:05:44.

controversial friend was also shown the door. And Nicky Morgan who

:05:45.:05:48.

backed him to be the leader met the same fate. Oliver let women, one of

:05:49.:05:53.

David Cameron's thinkers, is out as well. And Stephen Crabb who run for

:05:54.:05:58.

leader as well. This is way more than the usual comings and goings of

:05:59.:06:03.

an ordinary reshuffle. This feels like a whole new government. Theresa

:06:04.:06:08.

May have taken big, bold decisions and there has been a no-nonsense

:06:09.:06:11.

clear out of some of the politicians who were seen by some as a clique

:06:12.:06:16.

around David Cameron and George Osborne. There are some of the same

:06:17.:06:21.

faces, and some of the same controversies and problems as well.

:06:22.:06:26.

But the government looks different, very different, and under Theresa

:06:27.:06:30.

May, what some ministers do will be different as well. There will not be

:06:31.:06:35.

a Budget within weeks as George Osborne claimed there would. We do

:06:36.:06:39.

not see the need for an emergency budget. I expect to make an Autumn

:06:40.:06:44.

Statement in the usual way, having spent the summer studying the effect

:06:45.:06:47.

on the economy so far, looking at our plan for the future, consulting

:06:48.:06:52.

with the experts, starting with the Governor of the Bank of England this

:06:53.:06:57.

morning. Remember, these changes are still within the same political

:06:58.:07:04.

party. The same side is in charge. But the Prime Minister wants a clean

:07:05.:07:09.

break. Don't forget, these jobs really do matter. The politics is

:07:10.:07:12.

personal as well. The new look Conservative

government has not been The President of the European

:07:16.:07:17.

Parliament, Martin Schulz, said its composition was an attempt

:07:18.:07:21.

to keep the Tory party together rather than focus

:07:22.:07:23.

on the future of the country. There was criticism too of the new

:07:24.:07:28.

Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson who was described as "a liar"

:07:29.:07:36.

by his French counterpart. Our deputy political editor,

:07:37.:07:39.

Jon Pienaar, has more. In a shock move, she named her party

:07:40.:07:43.

rival Boris Johnson It wasn't just

:07:44.:07:46.

us who were surprised. Boris Johnson has been put in charge

:07:47.:07:54.

of quiet British diplomacy after a career strewn with colourful

:07:55.:07:57.

outbursts and more than the odd gap. Around the world,

:07:58.:08:07.

reaction has been mixed. Some amusement, quite

:08:08.:08:09.

a lot of shock. On Twitter, the former Swedish

:08:10.:08:11.

leader thought it was a joke. The former Belgian

:08:12.:08:13.

Prime Minister did too. "British humour has no

:08:14.:08:15.

borders", he wrote. Australia said "good wishes

:08:16.:08:17.

to a good friend," but others in France and Germany

:08:18.:08:19.

were less friendly. And Martin Schulz, President

:08:20.:08:21.

of the European Parliament, has described the Cabinet reshuffle

:08:22.:08:26.

which made Mr Johnson Foreign Secretary as part of a dangerously

:08:27.:08:28.

vicious cycle since the vote French Foreign Minister

Jean-Marc Ayrault said in an interview the new Foreign

is going to be a certain amount the ceiling in the

:08:49.:08:50.

chancelleries of Europe. It wasn't the result

:08:51.:08:54.

they were expecting and clearly they are making their views known

:08:55.:08:57.

in a frank and free way. I have to say that the gentleman

:08:58.:09:02.

that you mentioned, the French Foreign Minister,

:09:03.:09:04.

in fact, has sent me a charming saying how much he looks forward

:09:05.:09:07.

to working together. Here in the UK, this

:09:08.:09:14.

was the reaction of one of the Labour's

:09:15.:09:20.

leadership challengers. They have just made him

:09:21.:09:21.

Foreign Secretary? In America, they know

:09:22.:09:23.

about Boris Johnson's He compared presidential candidate

:09:24.:09:26.

ancestral dislike In Washington, which also took

:09:35.:09:36.

the losing side against the campaign a State Department spokesman's

:09:37.:09:43.

face spoke volumes. The British Foreign Secretary

:09:44.:09:47.

has just been announced I mean, we are always going to be

:09:48.:09:49.

able to work with the British, no matter who is occupying the role

:09:50.:10:00.

of Foreign Secretary. Boris Johnson addressed his

:10:01.:10:03.

new staff today, looking the part. That is what diplomacy

:10:04.:10:06.

is about sometimes. Colleagues say he has got

:10:07.:10:08.

the talent and for the job, Colleagues say he has got the talent

:10:09.:10:14.

and brains for the job, but he'll have to get used

:10:15.:10:17.

to being a little less interesting. The new Chancellor of

:10:18.:10:20.

the Exchequer Philip Hammond says the decision to leave

:10:21.:10:22.

the European Union has had a chilling effect

:10:23.:10:24.

on the UK economy - but the Government will do whatever

:10:25.:10:26.

is needed to restore confidence. The Bank of England has surprised

:10:27.:10:29.

many A cut had been widely expected

:10:30.:10:30.

in a bid to boost the economy - as our economics editor

:10:31.:10:36.

Kamal Ahmed reports. He was the future once. George

:10:37.:10:48.

Osborne, an austerity budget after austerity budget. A plan which has

:10:49.:10:52.

been religiously followed for six years. Today, the new man Philip

:10:53.:10:56.

Hammond and a change of tone. Out goes the language of cuts and

:10:57.:11:01.

deficits. In comes the language of reassurance and an economy that

:11:02.:11:05.

works, apparently, for everyone. The referendum he admitted had created a

:11:06.:11:11.

short-term shock. Our job now is to reassure markets, reassure

:11:12.:11:20.

investors, reassure businesses about the future of this company, set a

:11:21.:11:23.

clear plan about where we are going, restoring the confidence as quickly

:11:24.:11:26.

as possible and that is what we intend to do. The question on

:11:27.:11:31.

everyone's lips, what is Philip Hammond's agenda? He has signalled

:11:32.:11:34.

there should be no increase on taxes. On borrowing, the deficit

:11:35.:11:39.

reduction target has been abandoned, and on trade with Europe, Mr Hammond

:11:40.:11:44.

insisted Britain was still open for business. Big decisions are ready

:11:45.:11:49.

for take-off. An airport expansion, Mr Hammond remained neutral on a

:11:50.:11:54.

decision which has faced years of delays. When a new power station at

:11:55.:11:59.

Hinkley Point, the Chancellor was warmer, backing the project. There

:12:00.:12:03.

is no better signal about being open for business than infrastructure

:12:04.:12:08.

spending. The Davis commission recommended Heathrow, now just get

:12:09.:12:11.

on with it. The other big project we would love to see taken forward is

:12:12.:12:17.

HS2. It will bring a spine up the country and bring regional growth to

:12:18.:12:22.

the UK. Let's get on with it. Not getting on with it, the Bank of

:12:23.:12:27.

England, which held interest rates at 0.5%. The Bank of England

:12:28.:12:31.

certainly surprised the market and a lot of economists when they said

:12:32.:12:34.

today they would not be cutting interest rates to help stimulate the

:12:35.:12:39.

economy. Not yet anyway. I think that makes an important point. It is

:12:40.:12:43.

not the Governor of this place which is most vital when it comes to the

:12:44.:12:47.

direction of travel for the UK economy, that job is down to the new

:12:48.:12:52.

Prime Minister, the new Chancellor. Their policies will play a much more

:12:53.:12:57.

significant role. We will not know those details until the Autumn

:12:58.:13:01.

Statement and that is months away. Economists say speed is now the

:13:02.:13:07.

essence. Businesses are waiting for the government to provide some

:13:08.:13:10.

clarity on how it is going to support the economy, how it is going

:13:11.:13:15.

to affect their plans, and waiting until the Autumn Statement may be

:13:16.:13:21.

too long. The bank did warn the housing market and consumer

:13:22.:13:23.

confidence have suffered since June 23 and said it was ready to cut

:13:24.:13:26.

interest rates next month if necessary. Whether it feels the need

:13:27.:13:32.

may depend in part on how far Mr Hammond is keeping his side of the

:13:33.:13:36.

bargain on boosting Britain's economy.

:13:37.:13:39.

Both the Bank and the Chancellor have warned about the adverse effect

:13:40.:13:42.

the Brexit vote could have on the economy.

:13:43.:13:44.

The boss of the high street retailer Next, Lord Wolfson -

:13:45.:13:47.

who backed leaving the EU - has told the BBC

:13:48.:13:49.

Other businesses say they're planning to cut back production -

:13:50.:13:54.

as our Business Editor Simon Jack reports, from Stoke on Trent.

:13:55.:14:02.

After the intense heat of the European referendum, no city in the

:14:03.:14:09.

UK are merged with a more hardened resolve than Stoke-on-Trent. 70% of

:14:10.:14:14.

voters wanted a break with the European Union. That level of

:14:15.:14:17.

certainty at the ballot box has lead to uncertainty for one of its most

:14:18.:14:23.

famous businesses. Pottery maker Portmeirion has cut production by

:14:24.:14:28.

80% this year. To is the uncertainty in the consumer's mind which is

:14:29.:14:32.

making the retailers think how much stock should we order? And with

:14:33.:14:35.

retailers considering how much stock to order, we have to be careful not

:14:36.:14:40.

just to make stock to add it to stock. We are having to pull back

:14:41.:14:44.

just a little bit on our production levels. Not all retailers are

:14:45.:14:50.

cautious. One of the cables are biggest said concern is overdone.

:14:51.:14:54.

These things are always slightly overdone in the media and I think

:14:55.:14:57.

most people are taking a calm look at it. I suspect the devaluation of

:14:58.:15:02.

the pound will be more of a boost to British Manufacturing than people

:15:03.:15:08.

are expecting. To who is right? Is it business as usual or are there

:15:09.:15:11.

signs of trouble ahead? The Bank of England has described the vote to

:15:12.:15:14.

leave as a potential economic trauma. You might think of it as a

:15:15.:15:20.

punch on the nose which has not started hurting yet. Some people

:15:21.:15:22.

have been talking as if an economic downturn is imminent or underway.

:15:23.:15:29.

And yet percent of people in Stoke got what they wanted. Some people

:15:30.:15:37.

will see it as time for optimism. We have to sit back and Steve what

:15:38.:15:44.

happens. Get on with it? Yes. It is what it is. Let's jump at the

:15:45.:15:48.

opportunity to make the best of it. Comeback in 12 months and see and we

:15:49.:15:57.

will be there. Where we'll we be? Higher-ups up. Better. I voted to

:15:58.:16:01.

come out and I cannot wait for it to happen. Surveys out today point to

:16:02.:16:09.

slowing activity in the south-east but agents here are not seeing that.

:16:10.:16:15.

Business is good, no significant difference post Brexit, if anything,

:16:16.:16:20.

the number of applicants has increased. Business is likely them

:16:21.:16:24.

but we expect that during the holiday time anyway. Here in the

:16:25.:16:27.

potteries, people have pinned their hopes on a bright future after

:16:28.:16:31.

Brexit. It will be weeks, months, even years before we know whether

:16:32.:16:32.

that confidence was justified. Our political editor

:16:33.:16:35.

Laura Kuenssberg is here. Laura, there is so much to talk

:16:36.:16:43.

about. Let's go back to this business of the new Cabinet, what it

:16:44.:16:46.

tells us about the way the Government is going. But before

:16:47.:16:49.

that, you learn about the visit of the Prime Minister is making

:16:50.:16:54.

tomorrow. Less than 24 hours ago, Theresa May stood there and one of

:16:55.:16:57.

the first things she said in her speech was the union between

:16:58.:17:00.

Scotland and the rest of the UK was one of her priorities, she saw it as

:17:01.:17:11.

a duty to preserve the union. Not to anywhere in England, not a grand

:17:12.:17:14.

speech in London, her first visit is going to be to Scotland, which means

:17:15.:17:21.

what she said yesterday, she means, the union, tested by the differing

:17:22.:17:25.

results in a referendum, is going to be at the top of her list. Today has

:17:26.:17:29.

been dominated by the comings and goings, rushing up and down don't

:17:30.:17:34.

activate Downing Street as ministers left after they had learned their

:17:35.:17:37.

street -- up and down Downing Street. We can learn something about

:17:38.:17:42.

Theresa May's decisions in putting together 13, removing what many

:17:43.:17:45.

people saw as a clique around David Cameron and George Osborne shows

:17:46.:17:52.

that she wants to move on from that. Not necessarily get rid of the ideas

:17:53.:17:56.

but move on from the atmosphere of those characters and have a clean

:17:57.:17:59.

break in terms of the personalities involved, and that has been seen as

:18:00.:18:03.

an extremely bold decision. She has moved that people who were very,

:18:04.:18:07.

very powerful in this neck of the woods. Beyond that, though, I think

:18:08.:18:11.

we have seen she has actually tried to include people from almost all

:18:12.:18:15.

parts of the Conservative Party. There are some very traditional

:18:16.:18:21.

Eurosceptics in there, likely on Fox, plenty of people who campaigned

:18:22.:18:24.

for out, like Andrea Leeds, who quit the leadership race so sensationally

:18:25.:18:28.

-- Andrea Letson. But there are people on the more moderate side of

:18:29.:18:34.

the conservatory party too. -- Conservative Party. These might look

:18:35.:18:39.

like they are only Westminster injury, they matter enormously,

:18:40.:18:42.

because at the end of the day, these are the people who will make

:18:43.:18:45.

decisions that really will affect all of our lives.

:18:46.:18:46.

That's it from Downing street for now, a quick reminder that

:18:47.:18:49.

Now it's back to Reeta in the studio.

:18:57.:19:02.

Fiona, thank you. Our top story this evening:

:19:03.:19:13.

Theresa May has spent her first full day in office,

:19:14.:19:16.

She wasted no time in making some radical changes.

Why Britain's Chris Froome was left running up a mountain.

:19:20.:19:24.

Coming up in Sportsday on BBC News, on day one of the first Test

between England and Pakistan at Lord's,

:19:28.:19:28.

debutant Jake Ball takes his first international wicket.

:19:29.:19:47.

Prince Harry has been tested for HIV in a bid to raise awareness

:19:48.:19:50.

and to encourage others to do the same.

:19:51.:19:52.

According to the latest figures, there are over 100,000 people

:19:53.:19:54.

And there are thought to be around 18,000 people

:19:55.:19:58.

Prince Harry took the step of being publicly tested to help

:19:59.:20:03.

tackle the stigma surrounding the virus - as our Health

:20:04.:20:05.

He may have been nervous, but his blood test for HIV

:20:06.:20:17.

was being filmed and streamed live on social media.

:20:18.:20:19.

Doctors said it was a brave move for Prince Harry to agree to be

:20:20.:20:24.

His visit to a south London sexual health clinic was aimed at raising

:20:28.:20:35.

awareness and understanding of HIV and testing.

:20:36.:20:39.

Alex was diagnosed as HIV positive seven years ago

:20:40.:20:43.

after a routine check, but on the right medication,

:20:44.:20:45.

one pill a day, he says he can lead a normal life.

:20:46.:20:52.

It's great that we have an ambassador like Prince Harry that

:20:53.:20:55.

wants to get involved in HIV, not only here in the UK,

:20:56.:20:57.

but in Africa as well, to stand in solidarity with people

:20:58.:21:00.

It is all very different from the 1980s, when Prince Harry's

Then the chances of patients with the virus developing AIDs

:21:05.:21:09.

since then, doctors say medicine has made big strides forward.

:21:10.:21:21.

This is another viral illness that we now have great treatment

:21:22.:21:23.

We shouldn't have the stigma, carry the stigma, that we had

:21:24.:21:27.

We are in a new era, the science has managed to take

:21:28.:21:31.

Prince Harry's visit was aimed at showing that HIV test

Prince Harry's visit was aimed at showing that an HIV test

:21:35.:21:37.

So simple, in fact, that there is now a home testing kit,

:21:38.:21:41.

which the Prince was shown, allowing someone to test

:21:42.:21:43.

themselves if they don't want to go into a clinic.

:21:44.:21:46.

Prince Harry's view - wherever it happens,

:21:47.:21:48.

nobody should be worried about the test.

:21:49.:21:49.

Whether you are a man, woman, gay, straight,

:21:50.:21:52.

black, white, whatever, even ginger,

:21:53.:22:00.

why wouldn't you come and have a test?

:22:01.:22:02.

It was all adding to his knowledge of HIV AIDS,

platform with Sir Elton John at the International conference in South

Africa. The Crown Prosecution Service says

:22:15.:22:16.

there's insufficient evidence to charge a man in connection

with the sudden death of his Poppi Worthington died from serious

:22:19.:22:21.

injuries in 2012. A judge ruled that she'd probably

:22:22.:22:25.

been sexually assaulted by her father before

:22:26.:22:27.

she died, which he denied. Today, Cumbria Police apologised

:22:28.:22:29.

for failures in their investigation of her death, including failing

to preserve evidence There have been extraordinary scenes

:22:34.:22:35.

in the Tour de France today where the defending champion,

:22:36.:22:43.

the British cyclist Chris Froome, was forced to abandon his bike

:22:44.:22:46.

and start running up Froome had been knocked off his bike

after a pile-up involving spectators Our Sports correspondent

Froome's desperation to retain the lead saw him turn triathlete,

running without a bike up the mountain. It may have looked like a

:23:22.:23:25.

crowd pleaser but Chris Froome was far from pleased with the crowds.

:23:26.:23:28.

And this is why, their desire to get in the faces of the riders meant a

:23:29.:23:34.

camera bike had to stop suddenly, sending Richie Porte, and in turn

Chris Froome, headfirst into the back of it. By the time Chris Froome

was able to grab a usable bike, he had lost major ground on his rivals.

Furiously shaking his head as he crossed the line. But with his dream

of a third Vertoux Erwin hanging in the balance, the jury decided the

result shouldn't stand, leaving a very happy Froome to tweet "Still in

rowdy crowds. Now, it has been a huge success

:24:06.:24:09.

in the US and was launched in the UK today and already the smartphone

:24:10.:24:13.

game Pokemon Go is making waves - but maybe not for the reasons

its designers hoped. The game involves catching Pokemon

characters on your phone But both the police

:24:19.:24:21.

and the NSPCC have said here's our Technology Correspondent,

Rory Cellan-Jones. Now Pokemon Go is getting millions

here staring at their phones Everyone in their 20s

:24:31.:24:39.

grew up on Pokemon. It is like your childhood

:24:40.:24:44.

all over again, really. The game uses your phone's mapping

:24:45.:24:46.

function and then its camera to overlay virtual characters

:24:47.:24:53.

on the real world. It means you can walk around

:24:54.:24:55.

anywhere and find a Pokemon. I am going to throw a ball

:24:56.:25:00.

at it, hit it. I have got it, I have

:25:01.:25:05.

got my first Pokemon. This group from Wired magazine

:25:06.:25:13.

spent their lunchtime headhunting It is actually the idea

:25:14.:25:15.

of being outside, getting to see London and at the same time hunting

:25:16.:25:21.

these Pokemon and as you can see, it is a group event and I think it

:25:22.:25:24.

has just captured people's imagination in terms of getting

:25:25.:25:27.

about and doing stuff Now, the app may be free but that

:25:28.:25:30.

doesn't mean it won't prove There are already suggestions that

:25:31.:25:34.

shops and other businesses could pay to be Poke-stops where you can find

:25:35.:25:41.

plenty of Pokemon, thereby attracting large crowds

:25:42.:25:43.

through their doors. In the United States,

:25:44.:25:45.

several people have suffered accidents when walking or even

:25:46.:25:49.

driving while playing the game. Three men in the US have been

:25:50.:25:51.

arrested after allegedly trying to lure players

:25:52.:25:57.

to a secluded place to rob them. Here in Britain, police are already

:25:58.:25:59.

issuing safety guidance That means there's one

:26:00.:26:01.

nearby, just hanging out. But Pokemon, which started in Japan

:26:02.:26:08.

20 years ago, is back It could be the future of gaming

:26:09.:26:11.

or just another short lived craze. Let's look at the weather now with

:26:12.:26:29.

John Hammond. It has been an up-and-down summer to

:26:30.:26:33.

put it politely, but for once, today was a lovely day for virtually all

:26:34.:26:37.

of us. This was taken in Shropshire, very typical for the rest of the

:26:38.:26:41.

country, some fluffy and fairweather cloud, the odd shower inside but

:26:42.:26:47.

most of us dry with some sunshine. Cloud is massing across Ireland, the

:26:48.:26:50.

sign of things to come because it will continue to kick in and around

:26:51.:26:54.

about midnight, rain will spreading across Northern Ireland, pushing

:26:55.:26:58.

into western fringes of mainland Scotland through the night. Across

:26:59.:27:04.

Western counties, it will be chilly but at the other end of the UK, if

:27:05.:27:09.

you are a player or spectator at Troon for the Open, brace yourself,

:27:10.:27:12.

it is going to be a completely different day compared to today.

:27:13.:27:16.

Fairly relentless rain through the morning, it may ease off for a time

:27:17.:27:20.

in the afternoon, but if you factor in the gusty wind, not great

:27:21.:27:24.

conditions to say the least. A lot of wet weather for western Scotland,

:27:25.:27:28.

patchy stuff further eased. It will improve for a time in Northern

:27:29.:27:34.

Ireland as bits of rain pass across. Southern counties should stay dry.

:27:35.:27:39.

In any brightness, still up into the low 20s and quite muddy. Looking

:27:40.:27:44.

further ahead into tomorrow night and into Saturday, this trading cold

:27:45.:27:47.

front, a narrowing band of rain, tracking its way down through

:27:48.:27:51.

England and Wales, probably not making it to the south-west and

:27:52.:27:58.

Wales, so patchy. It is a dividing line, warm air to the south, fresher

:27:59.:28:02.

conditions to the north and some blustery showers across the west of

:28:03.:28:05.

Scotland. They will continue through Sunday, where most of the action

:28:06.:28:09.

will be across the northern half of the UK, quite blustery and fresh.

:28:10.:28:14.

Further south, not much rain, mainly dry and where there is any sunshine,

:28:15.:28:18.

it will be warm. Now back to Fiona in Downing Street.

:28:19.:28:19.

A reminder of our main story this evening and it's been another day

:28:20.:28:24.

full of drama here in Downing Street as Theresa May carried out

:28:25.:28:26.

a sweeping reshuffle, assembling her new Government team

:28:27.:28:28.

and making a string of high-profile sackings -

:28:29.:28:30.

all signifying a big break from the Cameron years.

:28:31.:28:33.

In all, ten Ministers have left the Cabinet.

:28:34.:28:35.

The biggest casualty yesterday was, of course, the Chancellor

:28:36.:28:37.

Today, among the departures was Michael Gove -

:28:38.:28:42.

a former leadership challenger to Mrs May - who was sacked

:28:43.:28:44.

Nicky Morgan goes - with Justine Greening taking over

:28:45.:28:50.

Stephen Crabb resigned as Work and Pensions Secretary -

:28:51.:28:57.

he'll be replaced by Damien Green and Chris Grayling becomes

:28:58.:28:59.

Andrea Leadsom, a leading Brexit campaigner, who challenged Theresa

:29:00.:29:12.

May for the leadership, is brought into the Cabinet as Enviroment

:29:13.:29:14.

Secretary. But one person not on the move -

:29:15.:29:15.

Jeremy Hunt is staying put That's all from the BBC News at Six

:29:16.:29:19.

here at Downing Street,
