:00:00. > :00:08.Tonight at Ten, Theresa May carries out a sweeping Cabinet reshuffle,
:00:09. > :00:13.seeking a clear break with the Cameron years.
:00:14. > :00:16.It's a brutal reshuffle, Mrs May, isn't it?
:00:17. > :00:21.The new Prime Minister spent her first full day in office
:00:22. > :00:24.assembling her new Cabinet team and wasted no time in making
:00:25. > :00:30.Among those getting prominent roles are Justine Greening at Education,
:00:31. > :00:33.Liz Truss at Justice, and the former leadership candidate
:00:34. > :00:40.And there are ten leaving the Cabinet, including Michael Gove,
:00:41. > :00:50.Nicky Morgan and John Whittingdale, as Mrs May shakes up Whitehall.
:00:51. > :00:57.Thank you very much, everybody. BOOING.
:00:58. > :00:59.There were boos for Boris on the Foreign Secretary's
:01:00. > :01:04.first official engagement at the French Embassy in London.
:01:05. > :01:07.It's inevitable that there's going to be a certain amount of plaster
:01:08. > :01:09.coming off the ceiling in the chancelleries of Europe.
:01:10. > :01:11.It wasn't the result that they were expecting
:01:12. > :01:14.and clearly they are making their views known.
:01:15. > :01:17.And despite the Brexit concerns, the Bank of England decides to hold
:01:18. > :01:25.And the other main stories on tonight's programme:
:01:26. > :01:28.Out on patrol - we report on policing in the US -
:01:29. > :01:35.in the aftermath of protests over the killing of black men.
:01:36. > :01:39.The yellow jersey is running up the Tour de France!
:01:40. > :01:43.And trouble at the Tour de France - why Britain's Chris Froome was left
:01:44. > :01:47.And coming up in Sportsday on BBC News: Mickelson makes history on day
:01:48. > :01:51.He shoots an eight under par 63, the joint lowest
:01:52. > :02:17.Good evening from Downing Street, where Theresa May has sought to make
:02:18. > :02:19.a clean break with the Cameron years by making sweeping
:02:20. > :02:25.No fewer than ten of Mr Cameron's top team have left including
:02:26. > :02:28.George Osborne, Michael Gove, John Whittingdale and Nicky Morgan.
:02:29. > :02:31.Throughout the day there's been a constant flow of ministers
:02:32. > :02:34.arriving at Number Ten, including Andrea Leadsom,
:02:35. > :02:37.the former leadership contender, who enters the Cabinet
:02:38. > :02:41.And as our political editor Laura Kuenssberg reports,
:02:42. > :02:46.Theresa May has carried out a much more extensive - some say brutal -
:02:47. > :02:57.Flowers on a day of congratulation, but commiserations too.
:02:58. > :02:59.The busiest people in Westminster today were the florists.
:03:00. > :03:06.But the Prime Minister was cracking on.
:03:07. > :03:11.Arriving for maybe her biggest job - getting her team right.
:03:12. > :03:13.It's not like they even get a job interview.
:03:14. > :03:18.Like Liz Truss, they turn up to find out what they've got.
:03:19. > :03:21.A cosy chat in Number Ten, then in her case they walk out
:03:22. > :03:27.as the new Secretary of State for Justice.
:03:28. > :03:30.Or like Justine Greening, you walk in with one Cabinet post
:03:31. > :03:40.My perfect job, she said, heading straight to her new department.
:03:41. > :03:42.Are you looking forward to a new position?
:03:43. > :03:44.I am, I'm absolutely delighted and looking forward
:03:45. > :03:49.No time to waste with new responsibilities
:03:50. > :03:53.for universities and apprenticeships too.
:03:54. > :03:58.Imagine being Damian Green, a senior MP walking up Whitehall
:03:59. > :04:01.hoping but not really knowing if you're
:04:02. > :04:07.Half an hour later, in charge of the Department
:04:08. > :04:11.for Work and Pensions, leaving in a minister's car.
:04:12. > :04:14.But a politician who's had few doubts about his suitability
:04:15. > :04:17.for high office was enjoying his first day.
:04:18. > :04:23.It's been a very busy first day for me here at the Foreign Office
:04:24. > :04:28.and it began really with a big speech to about several
:04:29. > :04:34.I set out what we need to be doing and what we need to be focusing on,
:04:35. > :04:38.and that is reshaping Britain's global profile and identity
:04:39. > :04:45.Philip Hammond is the Chancellor, essentially the number two.
:04:46. > :04:47.Amber Rudd is the new Home Secretary.
:04:48. > :04:51.Euro-sceptic Andrea Leadsom, who quit the leadership race just
:04:52. > :04:55.days ago, moves into the Cabinet in charge of Rural Affairs.
:04:56. > :05:00.After some confusion over his role, Jeremy Hunt stays at Health.
:05:01. > :05:03.Priti Patel, also part of the Out campaign,
:05:04. > :05:05.is promoted to DFID, the Department that
:05:06. > :05:09.And Chris Grayling, who ran the Prime Minister's
:05:10. > :05:14.leadership campaign, is now in charge at Transport.
:05:15. > :05:17.Today's losers did not have to face the Downing Street walk of shame.
:05:18. > :05:20.Theresa May told some colleagues in the privacy of the Commons
:05:21. > :05:26.There are more than a few tweaks around the edges.
:05:27. > :05:29.George Osborne, the Chancellor for six years, is out,
:05:30. > :05:34.Michael Gove, his controversial friend, was also shown the door,
:05:35. > :05:39.and Nicky Morgan, who backed him to be the leader, met the same fate.
:05:40. > :05:41.Oliver Letwin, one of David Cameron's thinkers,
:05:42. > :05:44.is out as well, along with John Whittingdale,
:05:45. > :05:47.the old Culture Secretary, and Stephen Crabb,
:05:48. > :05:52.This is way more than the usual comings and goings of
:05:53. > :05:57.This feels more like a whole new government.
:05:58. > :05:59.Theresa May has taken big, bold decisions and there's been
:06:00. > :06:03.a no-nonsense clear out of some of the politicians who were seen
:06:04. > :06:09.by some as a clique around David Cameron and George Osborne.
:06:10. > :06:16.And some of the same controversies and problems too.
:06:17. > :06:19.But the government looks different, very different, and under
:06:20. > :06:23.Theresa May what some ministers do will be different too.
:06:24. > :06:26.There won't be a budget within weeks now, as George Osborne had
:06:27. > :06:30.We don't see any need for an emergency budget
:06:31. > :06:35.I expect to make an Autumn Statement in the usual way, having spent
:06:36. > :06:40.the summer studying the effect on the economy so far,
:06:41. > :06:44.looking at our plan for the future, consulting with the experts,
:06:45. > :06:47.starting with the Governor of the Bank of England this morning.
:06:48. > :06:50.Remember these changes are all within the same
:06:51. > :06:54.The same side is still in charge, but the new Prime Minister
:06:55. > :06:56.wants a clean break, maybe clearing old resentments
:06:57. > :07:03.Don't forget, these jobs really do matter.
:07:04. > :07:11.Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News, Westminster.
:07:12. > :07:14.Theresa May's new line-up has not been universally welcomed in other
:07:15. > :07:18.The President of the European Parliament, Martin Shulz,
:07:19. > :07:21.said the EU would 'work constructively' with the new British
:07:22. > :07:24.government, but he accused Mrs May of putting party unity ahead
:07:25. > :07:30.The French Foreign Minister was rather more forthright,
:07:31. > :07:33.accusing Boris Johnson of peddling lies during the referendum campaign,
:07:34. > :07:38.as our deputy political editor John Pienaar reports.
:07:39. > :07:42.The first full day as Foreign Secretary and a few friendly words
:07:43. > :07:57.Not exactly an angry demo - they seemed to quite like
:07:58. > :07:59.him, but foreign secretaries aren't supposed to be booed
:08:00. > :08:05.What would you say to those who are unhappy about you being
:08:06. > :08:08.The start of the day was not perfect either.
:08:09. > :08:15.Best say nothing, but where was his ministerial car?
:08:16. > :08:17.He lost his way when he was after the leadership.
:08:18. > :08:24.Now, to the surprise of many, he's finally
:08:25. > :08:29.in charge of quiet British diplomacy.
:08:30. > :08:33.After a career strewn with colourful outbursts and more than a few
:08:34. > :08:38.gaffes. Around the world there's been some amusement and quite a lot
:08:39. > :08:41.of shock. On Twitter, the former Swedish leader thought it was a
:08:42. > :08:45.joke, the former Belgian Prime Minister did as well. British humour
:08:46. > :08:49.has no borders, he wrote. Australia sent good wishes to a good friend,
:08:50. > :08:54.but others in France and Germany were less friendly. And Martin
:08:55. > :08:57.Shulz, president of the European Parliament, as described the Cabinet
:08:58. > :09:07.reshuffle which made Mr Johnson Foreign Secretary, as part of a
:09:08. > :09:10.dangerously vicious cycle since the vote to quit the EU. The criticism
:09:11. > :09:12.had come pouring down. French Foreign Minister said in an
:09:13. > :09:15.interview the new Foreign Secretary had told a lot of lies about the EU.
:09:16. > :09:18.After a boat like the referendum result on June the 23rd, it's
:09:19. > :09:21.inevitable there will be a certain amount of plaster coming off the
:09:22. > :09:27.ceiling in the chancelleries of Europe. It wasn't the result they
:09:28. > :09:31.were expecting and clearly they are making their views known in a frank
:09:32. > :09:35.and freeway. I have to say that the gentleman that you mentioned, the
:09:36. > :09:38.French Foreign Minister, in fact has sent me a charming letter just a
:09:39. > :09:43.couple of hours ago, saying how much he looked forward to working
:09:44. > :09:47.together. Here in the UK, this was the reaction of one of Labour's
:09:48. > :09:52.leadership challengers. They've just made him Foreign Secretary? In
:09:53. > :09:56.America they know about Boris Johnson's way with words. He
:09:57. > :10:00.compared presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to a sadistic nurse
:10:01. > :10:06.in a mental hospital and during President Obama's British visit he
:10:07. > :10:08.wrote about what he called the part Kenyan's president Aslan --
:10:09. > :10:13.ancestral dislike of the British Empire. In Washington, which also
:10:14. > :10:18.took the losing side in the campaign against the EU, a State Department's
:10:19. > :10:24.face spoke volumes. It's been announced as Boris Johnson. How do
:10:25. > :10:28.you think... That's better. We are always going to be able to work with
:10:29. > :10:31.the British, no matter who is occupying the role of Foreign
:10:32. > :10:36.Secretary. Boris Jensen addressed is new stuff today looking the part,
:10:37. > :10:39.that's what diplomacy is about sometimes. Colleagues say he has the
:10:40. > :10:41.talent and brains for the job, but he will have to get used to being a
:10:42. > :10:46.little less Pienaar, BBC News. The man who replaced George Osborne
:10:47. > :10:48.as Chancellor of the Exchequer, Philip Hammond, says the outcome
:10:49. > :10:51.of the referendum has had a 'chilling effect'
:10:52. > :10:52.on the British economy. But he insisted that the government
:10:53. > :10:55.would do whatever was needed During the day the Bank of England
:10:56. > :10:59.surprised the financial markets by keeping interest rates on hold
:11:00. > :11:01.at 0.5% despite hints that a cut was on the cards,
:11:02. > :11:04.as our economics editor He was the future once -
:11:05. > :11:12.George Osborne, and austerity budget, after austerity budget,
:11:13. > :11:15.a plan that has been religiously Today the new man, Philip Hammond,
:11:16. > :11:22.and a change of tone - out goes the language of cuts
:11:23. > :11:25.and deficits and in comes the language of reassurance
:11:26. > :11:28.and an economy that works, And on tax, a big message:
:11:29. > :11:35.Increasing taxes is not the way to support the economy,
:11:36. > :11:37.to maintain consumer that we keep on growing our
:11:38. > :11:44.economy in the future. If there is one thing that people
:11:45. > :11:47.in this country will want to focus on it is making sure
:11:48. > :11:49.that the investment in our future continues,
:11:50. > :11:54.and the jobs that investment creates The question on everyone's lips:
:11:55. > :12:01.What is Philip Hammond's agenda? On taxes, as we heard,
:12:02. > :12:04.he signalled a keenness, On borrowing, the deficit reduction
:12:05. > :12:11.target has been abandoned. And on trade with Europe,
:12:12. > :12:13.Mr Hammond insisted that Britain Big decisions are ready
:12:14. > :12:20.for take-off, on airport expansion Mr Hammond stayed neutral
:12:21. > :12:23.on a decision that has On a new nuclear power

:12:35. > :12:37.the aviation capacity The Davis commission
:12:38. > :12:42.recommended Heathrow, The other big project we would love
:12:43. > :12:47.to see taken forward is HS2. It puts a spine up the middle
:12:48. > :12:50.of the country and also bring growth to regions of the UK,
:12:51. > :12:53.so let's get on with it. Not getting on with it,
:12:54. > :12:55.the Bank of England, which held interest rates at 0.5%,
:12:56. > :12:58.despite worries that The Bank of England certainly
:12:59. > :13:04.surprised the markets and a lot of economists when they said today
:13:05. > :13:06.they wouldn't be cutting interest rates to help stimulate the economy,
:13:07. > :13:12.well, not yet anyway. I think that makes
:13:13. > :13:14.an important point - that it is not the governor of this
:13:15. > :13:17.place who is most vital of the travel of UK economy -
:13:18. > :13:22.that job is down to the new Prime Minister,
:13:23. > :13:25.the new Chancellor, their policies will play a much
:13:26. > :13:30.more significant role. We won't know those details
:13:31. > :13:32.until the Autumn Statement, Economists say speed
:13:33. > :13:38.is now the essence. Businesses are waiting
:13:39. > :13:41.for the Government to provide some clarity on how it is going
:13:42. > :13:44.to support the economy, how it is going to affect
:13:45. > :13:48.their plans, and waiting until the Autumn Statement may be
:13:49. > :13:53.a bit too long. The bank did warn the housing market
:13:54. > :13:55.and consumer confidence have It said it was ready to cut interest
:13:56. > :14:01.rates next month if necessary. Whether it feels the need may depend
:14:02. > :14:04.in part on how far Mr Hammond is keeping his side of the bargain
:14:05. > :14:08.on boosting Britain's economy. Today's Cabinet reshuffle
:14:09. > :14:16.could signal a very different approach in some key policy areas,
:14:17. > :14:21.including Justice and Transport So let's ask three of my colleagues
:14:22. > :14:27.to outline the task ahead in those departments,
:14:28. > :14:29.and we'll start our health editor Hugh Pym at St Thomas'
:14:30. > :14:42.Hospital in central London. Yes, there was some confusion over
:14:43. > :14:45.health policy earlier today, with reports the Health Secretary Jeremy
:14:46. > :14:49.Hunt was moving on. Then it was confirmed he was staying in post. So
:14:50. > :14:54.he will press on with his existing priorities. First of all imposing a
:14:55. > :14:57.contract on junior doctors in England, he had reached agreement
:14:58. > :15:00.with the British Medical Association but the members voted against, so
:15:01. > :15:04.were lamenting it may not be straightforward. There is the bigger
:15:05. > :15:08.picture of NHS finances, with warnings some hospitals and other
:15:09. > :15:11.trusts may struggle on their budget and maintain safe standards of care.
:15:12. > :15:14.Longer term, the government is committed to a seven-day NHS in
:15:15. > :15:19.England. It's been made clear that is a manifesto commitment so the new
:15:20. > :15:23.Prime Minister still sees it as a priority. Mr Hunt has always made
:15:24. > :15:25.clear he loves his job, but he knows it's tough and it could yet get
:15:26. > :15:38.tougher still. The new Justice Secretary and the
:15:39. > :15:44.first female lord Lord Chancellor, Elizabeth Truss has two decisions to
:15:45. > :15:48.make, to press ahead with the prisons' bill, the bill that gave
:15:49. > :15:52.prison governors more control, more education, rehabilitation, that was
:15:53. > :15:56.the brainchild of her predecessor, Michael Gove. It was in the Queen's
:15:57. > :16:00.Speech two months ago but Theresa May is known to have a traditional
:16:01. > :16:07.view of prince, should that bill be abandoned? Secondly, the plans to
:16:08. > :16:11.replace the human rights act with a British bill of rights in the
:16:12. > :16:15.Conservative election manifesto. But not much happened on it since.
:16:16. > :16:20.Elizabeth Truss is known to be a fan of the idea. Should the plans be
:16:21. > :16:24.speeded up. We have been trying to get answers to the questions. Her
:16:25. > :16:28.office have not been able to give us clues, perhaps as they are still
:16:29. > :16:33.trying to work out what the answers are.
:16:34. > :16:38.And Chris Grayling comes to the department of transport when the
:16:39. > :16:41.decisions depend on two pieces of national transport infrastructure.
:16:42. > :16:45.The high-speed rail link between London and the north of England.
:16:46. > :16:49.That vote could kick-start construction on what could be one of
:16:50. > :16:53.the biggest engineering projects in Europe. Then of course there is the
:16:54. > :16:57.controversial issue of airport expansion in the south of England.
:16:58. > :17:03.The Government committed to airport expansion last year, last year, the
:17:04. > :17:06.airport commission recommendeded a third runway at Heathrow Airport but
:17:07. > :17:12.Boris Johnson does not like that idea. As for Philip Hammond and
:17:13. > :17:16.Theresa May, their thoughts are nor nuanced but they both have
:17:17. > :17:27.constituencies close to the Heathrow flight path.
:17:28. > :17:27.Thank you very much. Well
:17:28. > :17:29.The head of the high street retailer Next, Lord Wolfson,
:17:30. > :17:32.who supported the Leave campaign, has told the BBC that big falls
:17:33. > :17:34.in immigration would be dangerous for the economy.
:17:35. > :17:37.He also said he would not be reducing investment in his business.
:17:38. > :17:40.Three weeks after the referendum our business editor Simon Jack has
:17:41. > :17:42.been to Stoke on Trent, an area that voted to leave,
:17:43. > :17:46.After the intense heat of the European referendum,
:17:47. > :17:48.no city in the UK emerged with more hardened resolve
:17:49. > :17:53.70% of voters wanted a break with the European Union.
:17:54. > :17:56.That level of certainty at the ballot box has led
:17:57. > :18:00.to uncertainty for one of its most famous businesses.
:18:01. > :18:02.Pottery maker Portmeirion has said it will cut
:18:03. > :18:06.It's the uncertainty within the consumer's mind
:18:07. > :18:11.that is making the retailers think, how much stock should we order?
:18:12. > :18:14.And with the retailers wondering how much stock to order,
:18:15. > :18:18.we have to be very careful we don't just make stock to add it to stock.
:18:19. > :18:21.We are having to pull back just a little bit on our
:18:22. > :18:26.The Bank of England has described the vote to leave
:18:27. > :18:31.You might think of it as a punch on the nose which hasn't
:18:32. > :18:33.started hurting yet, and some would say the governor has
:18:34. > :18:35.been acting and talking as if an economic downturn
:18:36. > :18:38.is imminent or even underway, and yet 70% of people here in Stoke
:18:39. > :18:41.got exactly what they wanted, and many will see this as a reason
:18:42. > :18:47.I did vote to stay in, but obviously with the majority
:18:48. > :18:50.vote voting to go out, there is nothing we can do now,
:18:51. > :18:53.so we just have to sit back and see what happens, really.
:18:54. > :18:58.I think it is what it is - the people have spoken,
:18:59. > :19:00.so let's just try and jump with the opportunity
:19:01. > :19:04.Come back in 12 months and see, and we'll be there.
:19:05. > :19:22.You are confident we will be better off?
:19:23. > :19:25.I voted to come out, and I can't wait for it to happen.
:19:26. > :19:27.The boss of one of Britain's's biggest retailers is also confident.
:19:28. > :19:30.I think, as with all these things, they are always slightly overdone
:19:31. > :19:36.in the media and I think most people are sort
:19:37. > :19:40.I suspect the devaluation of the pound will be much more
:19:41. > :19:43.of a boost to British manufacturing than people are expecting.
:19:44. > :19:45.But he is concerned that sharp cuts to immigration could harm
:19:46. > :19:48.the economy and reject the notion that the referendum result makes
:19:49. > :19:52.I voted leave and I certainly would feel betrayed if immigration is not
:19:53. > :19:56.I think it would be very dangerous to bring immigration

:20:11. > :20:12.That might be true, but here in the Potteries
:20:13. > :20:15.and elsewhere, many Leave voters hope to combine two things -

:20:24. > :20:27.Our political editor Laura Kuenssberg is with me.
:20:28. > :20:35.Can we talk about how the Government will manage the Brexit process.
:20:36. > :20:40.Split between three Cabinet ministers, how do we do that? Nobody
:20:41. > :20:43.knows that answer. They are all charged with dealing with the
:20:44. > :20:47.difficult, probably the most difficult question for Theresa May
:20:48. > :20:52.as a Government, how to go about leaving the European Union. It is
:20:53. > :20:58.not just a blank page in terms of how the process will work but also a
:20:59. > :21:04.blank page in how the three men are expected to work together? Will
:21:05. > :21:09.there be a pecking order? Or report to Theresa May? How does it work,
:21:10. > :21:16.does Liam Fox report to Beijing. Brussels? It is unclear. It feels a
:21:17. > :21:20.risky situation. All three men are strong characters, all three are
:21:21. > :21:25.fond of expressing their views and all three are hard to plaquate. In
:21:26. > :21:29.terms of the other union, the union between Scotland and the rest of the
:21:30. > :21:33.UK, yesterday, Theresa May stood there and it was almost the first
:21:34. > :21:37.thing she mentioned in the speech. She is clearly making it a priority
:21:38. > :21:42.as the first visit tomorrow as the Prime Minister is tomorrow to head
:21:43. > :21:46.to Edinburgh to have a meeting with Nicola Sturgeon the First Minister
:21:47. > :21:48.there. Clearly that shows she means
:21:49. > :21:53.business. So, what has happened in the
:21:54. > :21:57.meantime to make us more confident about the sense of Theresa May as
:21:58. > :22:04.Prime Minister? We have had big pieces of the jigsaw there. Are
:22:05. > :22:08.three main things that she has done. Firstly, she has efficiently,
:22:09. > :22:12.clinically, some may say brutally cleared out, a group of people seen
:22:13. > :22:20.around David Cameron or George Osborne. They are gone, off to the
:22:21. > :22:23.back benches. So there will be big characters, experienced voices and
:22:24. > :22:29.that may be a benefit, compelled be a risk. Secondly, there are places
:22:30. > :22:33.around the Cabinet table for the quiet grafters, people who have
:22:34. > :22:38.worked hard, done their jobs lower down in parts of the government or
:22:39. > :22:43.the Cabinet, rewarded for loyalty or hard work but that means too around
:22:44. > :22:49.the Cabinet table and in public life there will be fewer characterful
:22:50. > :22:54.voices speaking from the Cabinet. But maybe that tells us that Theresa
:22:55. > :22:59.May is interested in controlling what is going on. And thirdly, if a
:23:00. > :23:05.lot of people were to think that Theresa May was to be cautious, it
:23:06. > :23:09.would be about continue youity, she has pretty much dismantled three
:23:10. > :23:14.government departments, taking bits from others and mixing them up,
:23:15. > :23:20.notably, the department for energy and climate change. That has meant
:23:21. > :23:24.that some in the environmental world, it has sent alarm bells
:23:25. > :23:28.ringing for some people. But overall, the sense of Theresa May
:23:29. > :23:33.was of somebody most interested in stability, most interested in being
:23:34. > :23:38.a safe pair of hands and actually, the strongest message we have had
:23:39. > :23:43.from inside Number Ten, is that she wants to draw a line under the
:23:44. > :23:44.Cameron era, she sees this time as her own.
:23:45. > :23:47.That's it from Downing Street this evening.
:23:48. > :23:50.A lot of ministerial changes today, so a quick reminder that
:23:51. > :23:52.you can follow all the news of Mrs May's Cabinet along
:23:53. > :23:55.with reaction and analysis on the BBC News website.
:23:56. > :24:03.And with that it's time to join Reeta for the day's

:24:58. > :24:59.this little one asks is, "Do you wear a gun?"
:25:00. > :25:04.Just in case, just in case I need it.
:25:05. > :25:18.All they think is that we lock people up and we shoot people,
:25:19. > :25:22.They don't seem to understand that the majority of

:25:25. > :25:26.I mean, have there been too many shootings?
:25:27. > :25:33.Policing in the US is under intense scrutiny, and the president has been

:25:36. > :25:41.The police force here is seen as something of a role model
:25:42. > :25:45.in the way it engages with the community.
:25:46. > :25:48.A storm comes in, and one of the sources of rumbling

:26:47. > :26:57.There is definitely a lot of mistrust, so I think that,
:26:58. > :27:01.you know, it is really important to get out there and to show people
