0:00:57 > 0:01:00Well, it's been the first day at work for our new Prime Minister.

0:01:00 > 0:01:02Theresa May took over from David Cameron last night.

0:01:02 > 0:01:03Here's what happened.

0:01:03 > 0:01:06We will make Britain a country that works not for the privileged few

0:01:06 > 0:01:08but for every one of us.

0:01:08 > 0:01:10That was the moment that Theresa May, the new Prime Minister,

0:01:10 > 0:01:12walked into her new home, 10 Downing Street.

0:01:12 > 0:01:15Mrs May has taken over as Prime Minister from the last

0:01:15 > 0:01:18person in charge, David Cameron.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21He decided to resign after the big vote, when the UK

0:01:21 > 0:01:24decided to leave the EU.

0:01:24 > 0:01:27Now, whenever there's a change of Prime Minister or government,

0:01:27 > 0:01:33the person leaving and the one taking over have do go to see

0:01:33 > 0:01:36the person leaving and the one taking over have to go to see

0:01:38 > 0:01:41to Buckingham Palace to see Her Majesty and officially

0:01:41 > 0:01:42step down from his job.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44Theresa May was next in to see the Queen

0:01:44 > 0:01:45and that was her big moment.

0:01:45 > 0:01:52She became the new Conservative Prime Minister.

0:01:52 > 0:01:55Mrs May left the Palace and returned to 10 Downing Street.

0:01:55 > 0:01:58She will start work as only the UK's second female Prime Minister.

0:01:58 > 0:02:01Her biggest job, sorting out how the UK leads the European Union.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04Her biggest job, sorting out how the UK leaves the European Union.

0:02:04 > 0:02:05Now to something big that's happening beneath

0:02:05 > 0:02:06the streets of London.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09Deep underground, a giant new railway line is being built.

0:02:09 > 0:02:12It's taking 20,000 workers, 100 million hours of work and some

0:02:12 > 0:02:15seriously big machines.

0:02:15 > 0:02:18CBBC's super scientific reporter Fran Scott has been exploring.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22I'm right in the centre of London at Farringdon station.

0:02:22 > 0:02:25And it might look like everything is normal here,

0:02:25 > 0:02:27but, beneath my feet,

0:02:27 > 0:02:30the biggest building project in Europe

0:02:30 > 0:02:33is going on - deep underground.

0:02:34 > 0:02:36Welcome to the Elizabeth Line.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39The massive project to build this new train line for London

0:02:39 > 0:02:40started in 2009.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42And in the summer of 2012,

0:02:42 > 0:02:44while London was hosting the Olympics,

0:02:44 > 0:02:46massive machines started digging.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49It has taken well over 20,000 workers

0:02:49 > 0:02:52over 100 million hours of work,

0:02:52 > 0:02:54and they've had to move millions of tonnes of mud

0:02:54 > 0:02:57from the 42 kilometre route.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59The digging finally finished right here, where the tunnelling machine

0:02:59 > 0:03:03called Victoria broke through to reach this -

0:03:03 > 0:03:08what will become the new Farringdon underground station.

0:03:08 > 0:03:10Now, they're working on getting seven new stations ready to open

0:03:10 > 0:03:17in about 2018.

0:03:17 > 0:03:22So, how do you go from this...to this?

0:03:22 > 0:03:23It's best to ask an expert.

0:03:23 > 0:03:26Chloe is one of many engineers working to make that happen.

0:03:26 > 0:03:28So, an essential part of any railway is the actual track.

0:03:28 > 0:03:32We're going to lay ours right here where we are walking.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35So we won't be able to walk here in the future?

0:03:35 > 0:03:38No - trains will be running through this tunnel,

0:03:38 > 0:03:44picking up passengers and taking them to their destinations.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47Chloe, this looks incredible. What is it?

0:03:47 > 0:03:51This is a temporary shaft, it won't be part of

0:03:51 > 0:03:53the permanent works.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55We use them during construction to bring materials in and out

0:03:55 > 0:03:56quickly and safely.

0:03:56 > 0:03:57You just crane them in?

0:03:57 > 0:03:59Yeah, pretty much.

0:03:59 > 0:04:00That's brilliant!

0:04:00 > 0:04:02This is one of our escalator tunnels here at Farringdon.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05What you can see now is the final concrete lining being put on top

0:04:05 > 0:04:08of the orange waterproofing.

0:04:08 > 0:04:08Right.

0:04:08 > 0:04:12This will eventually be one of the access points into the tunnel.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15There are lots of parts that make up a working station,

0:04:15 > 0:04:20but this one will not be ready for us to use for another 2-3 years.

0:04:20 > 0:04:25Which is a good job because there are still lots to do.

0:04:25 > 0:04:27Which is a good job because there is still lots to do.

0:04:27 > 0:04:29So I better leave them to it!

0:04:29 > 0:04:32Last up today, some people in Colorado in America are used

0:04:32 > 0:04:34to seeing grizzly bears - but not like this.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36Somehow, this bear managed to lock itself in a car,

0:04:36 > 0:04:39despite not breaking any windows.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41Don't worry, though, the bear was unharmed,

0:04:41 > 0:04:44but the car was a bit of a mess.

0:04:44 > 0:04:53That's all from me but it's a big day tomorrow for Tim Peake fans -

0:04:53 > 0:04:55you'll be able to hear from him right here on Newsround

0:04:55 > 0:04:56all morning.

0:04:56 > 0:04:57Don't miss it!
