:00:10. > :00:16.Hello, I'm Ros Atkins - this is Outside Source.

:00:17. > :00:19.One hour of international news, and we begin here in London.

:00:20. > :00:21.Britain's new Prime Minister Theresa May has made some big

:00:22. > :00:23.changes to the Cabinet - with significant figures

:00:24. > :00:29.The rest of the world has been reacting to Boris Johnson's

:00:30. > :00:37.His French counterpart has called him a liar.

:00:38. > :00:40.Mr Johnson says he wants to stay close the the EU.

:00:41. > :00:45.Being a bit more positive... There is a massive difference between

:00:46. > :00:49.leaving the EU and our relations with Europe which I think, if

:00:50. > :00:55.anything, are going to be intensified... A great deal of

:00:56. > :00:58.attention on this man, Philip Hammond, the new Chancellor of the

:00:59. > :01:02.Exchequer. The man charged with offering stability to the UK economy

:01:03. > :01:03.in this post Brexit era. We will look at his options in the coming

:01:04. > :01:07.months. Reports from the US say Donald Trump

:01:08. > :01:18.has chosen his running mate - to take on Hilary Clinton -

:01:19. > :01:21.we'll be live in Washington, as rumours build about

:01:22. > :01:24.the candidate's name. We will have more on that for you

:01:25. > :01:26.coming up. And if you've got questions

:01:27. > :01:29.on any of these stories, To use her own words, Britain's

:01:30. > :01:49.new Prime Minister Theresa May has She's only been in it

:01:50. > :01:52.since last night, but already she's shaped

:01:53. > :01:54.a new Government. And those who campaigned to Brexit

:01:55. > :01:56.are well-represented. The most eye-catching move

:01:57. > :01:58.is Boris Johnson becoming No room for Michael Gove -

:01:59. > :02:08.lead campaigner for Brexit, ran for Prime Minister,

:02:09. > :02:10.today sacked as Justice Secretary. Justine Greening become

:02:11. > :02:11.Education Secretary - the first Conservative in that post

:02:12. > :02:14.who went to a comprehensive Carole Walker is at

:02:15. > :02:37.Westminster for us. We have a pretty good idea of what

:02:38. > :02:41.the cabinet is going to look like, Carole. What kind of Government are

:02:42. > :02:45.we in for? This has been a fascinating day and one in which the

:02:46. > :02:49.new Prime Minister, Theresa May, has shown just how ruthless she is

:02:50. > :02:54.prepared to be as she shakes her new Government, of course they stop with

:02:55. > :02:59.that large challenge of how to take Britain out of the European Union --

:03:00. > :03:02.shapes up. Three high-profile campaigners for leaving the EU are

:03:03. > :03:07.in key positions now and dealing with that issue, Boris Johnson, of

:03:08. > :03:12.course, as you mentioned, the new Foreign Secretary. There is David

:03:13. > :03:15.Davis, another Brexit campaigner, who will be leading this new

:03:16. > :03:20.department dealing with just that issue, and of course Doctor Liam Fox

:03:21. > :03:25.doing this new international trade job, another strong Brexit

:03:26. > :03:27.campaigner. Looking further across-the-board, she has

:03:28. > :03:32.effectively sacked some of the key figures in David Cameron's

:03:33. > :03:36.Government, so today Michael Gove, as you mentioned, the Justice

:03:37. > :03:41.Secretary, is out. Last night of course the Chancellor George Osborne

:03:42. > :03:45.was also sacked, and among the others leaving people like John

:03:46. > :03:49.Whittingdale, Theresa Villiers, and Stephen Crabb, all no out of

:03:50. > :03:54.Government. In their places, coming into some of those really important

:03:55. > :03:59.jobs -- all now out. You have a lot of Theresa May's are close allies,

:04:00. > :04:03.Liz Truss, an interesting appointment, as the new Justice

:04:04. > :04:07.Secretary. We have Justin Greening who will be the new Education

:04:08. > :04:11.Secretary. She has a big beef top department that takes in higher and

:04:12. > :04:18.further education and apprenticeships as well as just

:04:19. > :04:21.schools -- beefed up. And people like Andrea Leadsom coming in, who

:04:22. > :04:24.was of course the minister in the running to be the next Prime

:04:25. > :04:28.Minister, and she pulled out only at the beginning of this week. It was

:04:29. > :04:31.that which paved the way for the swift sequence of events that

:04:32. > :04:37.propelled Theresa May so swiftly into Downing Street. She will now be

:04:38. > :04:41.the new Environment Secretary, Andrea Leadsom. A lot of Brexit

:04:42. > :04:45.campaigner Zen and the very different Government from the one

:04:46. > :04:49.that has just gone out. Interestingly enough, a spokeswoman

:04:50. > :04:52.today said this is all about social justice, about trying to spread

:04:53. > :04:57.opportunity, that message we heard from Theresa May from the outset of

:04:58. > :05:01.her time as new pro-Minister. Carole, all these people in new jobs

:05:02. > :05:04.will be full of energy to crack on with the tasks at hand, but then

:05:05. > :05:09.there is Brexit. The campaign has pretty much stopped all Government

:05:10. > :05:12.work before the vote. Is there a risk the work in engineering Brexit

:05:13. > :05:17.gets in the way of everything else? I think undoubtedly that is the

:05:18. > :05:20.biggest challenge and undoubtedly an awful lot of the work of the Prime

:05:21. > :05:25.Minister, as well as those key ministers, will focus on that. But

:05:26. > :05:31.Theresa May and her spokespeople are making it clear they do not just

:05:32. > :05:34.want her Government to be defined by that, thus stressing this social

:05:35. > :05:37.justice message. In Liz Truss as the Justice Secretary the stressing she

:05:38. > :05:44.will be focusing on rehabilitation right across the criminal justice

:05:45. > :05:47.system. Justin Greening in education, the stressing they want

:05:48. > :05:51.her to do more to make sure everyone from every walk of life gets the

:05:52. > :05:55.best possible start in life -- Justin Greening. And I think one of

:05:56. > :05:59.the reasons she has put those three big figures in doing those Brexit

:06:00. > :06:04.jobs, if you like, is to make sure that she has got a lot of effort

:06:05. > :06:08.going into that huge challenge. There is then space for other

:06:09. > :06:16.ministers to do the other things on which her Government will be judged.

:06:17. > :06:18.Carole, thank you very much for the update from Westminster. Interesting

:06:19. > :06:19.to see this tweet from Norman Smith, another of the BBC's top

:06:20. > :06:31.correspondents in Westminster. That is the argument from the

:06:32. > :06:35.Chancellor and we will get into the economic side of the story in about

:06:36. > :06:42.ten minutes, but first let's speak about Boris Johnson. This is how the

:06:43. > :06:49.daily Mirror covered his appointment as Foreign Secretary. Dear world,

:06:50. > :06:55.sorry. And the Daily Express which is pro-Brexit and much more

:06:56. > :07:04.enthusiastic about Boris Johnson. David Davis is the man who will be

:07:05. > :07:05.in charge of Brexit. These are a couple of quotes from Boris

:07:06. > :07:07.Johnson's counterparts. Germany's foreign minister

:07:08. > :07:08.in a German newspaper: "Boris Johnson is a smart party

:07:09. > :07:11.politician, who has understood how to use the Eurosceptic mood

:07:12. > :07:14.for his own purposes." Twice for the price of one -

:07:15. > :07:20.a compliment and a criticism. The French foreign minister:

:07:21. > :07:27."He lied a lot to the British people and now it is him

:07:28. > :07:30.who has his back against the wall." Mr Johnson doesn't seem to have

:07:31. > :07:34.taken that to heart though. Just tonight he made a speech

:07:35. > :07:37.at the French embassy in London, where its fair to say

:07:38. > :07:44.he got a mixed reception. A political, cultural,

:07:45. > :07:49.psychological and economic union! To coin a phrase, toujours vous

:07:50. > :08:01.etes... Thank you very much, everybody, for

:08:02. > :08:18.this meeting. Clapping and booing for Mr Johnson

:08:19. > :08:19.in one of his first duty is as the UK Foreign Secretary.

:08:20. > :08:21.Next week Boris Johnson goes to Brussels to to meet

:08:22. > :08:24.Here's Tom Burridge on how he may be received.

:08:25. > :08:27.I think there are a lot of people expressing scepticism

:08:28. > :08:30.about whether he is the right man to sort of lead and help those

:08:31. > :08:32.negotiations between Britain and the rest of the EU,

:08:33. > :08:36.and I think he will have his work cut out, because there is residual

:08:37. > :08:38.anger about the tone of the Brexit campaign here in Brussels,

:08:39. > :08:41.and of course Mr Johnson was a key figure in that campaign,

:08:42. > :08:46.In theory, he's going to sit down with the other 27 EU foreign

:08:47. > :08:49.ministers on Monday here in Brussels, plus the US Secretary

:08:50. > :08:51.of State, John Kerry, to talk about issues

:08:52. > :09:00.But, oh, to be a fly on the wall in that meeting.

:09:01. > :09:02.And, Tom, the reality of the political situation

:09:03. > :09:04.is whether they have their reservations or not,

:09:05. > :09:07.they are going to have to deal with him - they have

:09:08. > :09:11.Politics has a way of, shall we say, smoothing the edges

:09:12. > :09:25.Yeah, I mean that was the sentiment that keynote from outgoing

:09:26. > :09:27.Finance Commissioner, the British EU Finance Commissioner,

:09:28. > :09:30.Lord Hill, as he spoke in Brussels today, really saying

:09:31. > :09:32.that the British Government should not cut off its nose to spite

:09:33. > :09:36.It needs to be positive, there needs to be a pragmatic

:09:37. > :09:40.I think, in Mr Johnson's favour, he speaks several European

:09:41. > :09:41.languages, he knows Brussels, knows the city.

:09:42. > :09:44.He worked here as a journalist in the 1990s for several years,

:09:45. > :09:48.And he has a profile, you know, you will not suffer from obscurity.

:09:49. > :09:51.People know who he is and, you know, he does have some

:09:52. > :09:56.But I think he will have to work hard in the sort of diplomatic sense

:09:57. > :09:58.to win over many sceptics here in Brussels and elsewhere

:09:59. > :10:02.Just before I let you go, when I was in Brussels

:10:03. > :10:04.a couple of weeks ago, everyone there was saying

:10:05. > :10:07.we are just not talking about Brexit until Article 50 is triggered,

:10:08. > :10:10.so are we looking at a scenario where Boris Johnson comes to town

:10:11. > :10:18.and no one is allowed to talk about Brexit?

:10:19. > :10:21.Well, I think it is hard to believe that in that meeting

:10:22. > :10:25.there will be no discussion, but I think across the European

:10:26. > :10:27.institutions, European heads of government are insisting

:10:28. > :10:29.that the negotiations can only formally start, of course,

:10:30. > :10:31.when Britain triggers Article 50, and that doesn't mean

:10:32. > :10:35.there might not be some low-key backroom talks.

:10:36. > :10:38.I think, you know, in reality that kind of stuff will go on.

:10:39. > :10:40.Of course, the European side of things, the rest

:10:41. > :10:43.of the European Union, it is in their interests for that

:10:44. > :10:45.article to be triggered and the actual formal process

:10:46. > :10:48.to start because then the clock starts ticking, then there will be

:10:49. > :11:15.Thanks to Tom for that. Remember there is full coverage of Theresa

:11:16. > :11:24.May and all the changes they are on the BBC News website. Here are some

:11:25. > :11:38.tweaks on the situation in the US and the Donald Trump vice president.

:11:39. > :11:45.We can speak to Anthony Zurcher in Washington.

:11:46. > :11:53.We cannot say definitively this will be the choice but it is looking

:11:54. > :11:58.likely? Yes, the Indianapolis, his hometown newspaper, says he is

:11:59. > :12:09.likely to be chosen, Pence. Although Donald Trump Junior, Donald Trump's

:12:10. > :12:12.Sun, told the network here that Trump has not picked anyone yet --

:12:13. > :12:17.Donald Trump's son. That they are perhaps trying to keep some drama

:12:18. > :12:20.going into the big unveiling tomorrow at nine o'clock Manhattan

:12:21. > :12:25.hour. One of the people we thought might get it was Chris Christie, a

:12:26. > :12:34.national figure in the US. Why is Pence being ahead of him? He is a

:12:35. > :12:37.larger-than-life people, Chris Christie, YouTube highlights,

:12:38. > :12:41.millions of hits. Mike Pence has nothing like that. He is a

:12:42. > :12:46.Midwesterner, from Indiana, much more soft-spoken. He is well-known

:12:47. > :12:48.in some Republican circles. He was in the leadership of the House of

:12:49. > :12:52.Representatives here in Washington about five years ago before taking

:12:53. > :12:56.the governor's offers in Indiana but he is not a national figure by any

:12:57. > :13:00.stretch of the imagination. You know, it will be interesting to see

:13:01. > :13:06.how he does in the clear, in the spotlight, of the National campaign,

:13:07. > :13:10.if he is the pick, because you do not know what it is like until you

:13:11. > :13:14.either. On Outside Source we have spoken many times of people chosen

:13:15. > :13:18.for that position, they tacked to the position of that party, then

:13:19. > :13:23.after the back to the centre. How does this pick fit in with that

:13:24. > :13:28.theory? It is a little unusual. Mike Pence is not really the type of

:13:29. > :13:32.candidate who could appeal to a wider General Election demographic.

:13:33. > :13:35.Trump is having problems with minority voters, women voters and

:13:36. > :13:40.Mike Pence does not bring a lot of that to the table. I think we he

:13:41. > :13:43.helps is in shoring up the base, getting evangelicals and more

:13:44. > :13:47.traditional Republican is feeling a little more comfortable with Donald

:13:48. > :13:50.Trump as their nominee. Sometimes we speak about crossing over and

:13:51. > :13:54.getting independents and all of that, but when it comes down to it

:13:55. > :13:57.in a General Election turnout is the key and getting your base to the

:13:58. > :14:03.poll is the key so perhaps that is the strategy eft Hegi is the pick.

:14:04. > :14:06.He will focus on bread-and-butter issues for conservatives and drive

:14:07. > :14:11.them to the polls and perhaps bring in some midwesterners because Pence

:14:12. > :14:14.is from the region. Very interesting, thank you, Anthony.

:14:15. > :14:19.Remember it is just US media reporting that Mike Pence will be

:14:20. > :14:28.the pick. We have to wait until 11 o'clock tomorrow, New York time, to

:14:29. > :14:32.hear who will be chosen. I know what to play you this report from James

:14:33. > :14:37.Reynolds has been very close to the Hungary and Serbian border, migrants

:14:38. > :14:40.living there because they cannot go any further north. We will see how

:14:41. > :14:55.they are living with the help of James.

:14:56. > :14:57.Here in the UK the former Work and Pensions Secretary

:14:58. > :14:59.Iain Duncan Smith, who was a prominent Leave

:15:00. > :15:01.campaigner, has been giving his reaction

:15:02. > :15:05.He insists that the three ministers put in charge of Brexit -

:15:06. > :15:07.Boris Johnson, David Davis and Liam Fox -

:15:08. > :15:10.won't be driving the negotiation to leave the European Union.

:15:11. > :15:13.There is but one Brexit minister, when you get down to it,

:15:14. > :15:15.to be clear, and that is the Prime Minister.

:15:16. > :15:17.Theresa May's responsibility is to deliver the departure

:15:18. > :15:19.of Britain from the European Union in the best way possible,

:15:20. > :15:23.and she is the one that the public will look to, so there is but one

:15:24. > :15:28.The others will have to help her work the plan out and do

:15:29. > :15:31.all the ground work, but she is the one who goes to these

:15:32. > :15:36.She is the one who has to sign the piece of paper

:15:37. > :15:42.that says we are out, if there is such a piece of paper.

:15:43. > :15:54.So, yes, there is only one Brexit minister and that is Theresa May.

:15:55. > :16:02.Hello, I'm Ros Atkins - this is Outside Source.

:16:03. > :16:12.We are in first and covering Brexit. -- we are in the should you offer a

:16:13. > :16:16.first-time in a while having been out on the road covering Brexit.

:16:17. > :16:19.New British Prime Minister Theresa May has made massive

:16:20. > :16:29.The UN says executions and arbitrary killings in Ukraine

:16:30. > :16:32.A new report says crimes are being committed by government

:16:33. > :16:36.9500 people have killed in the two-year conflict.

:16:37. > :16:41.A station master in southern Italy has admitted he allowed a train

:16:42. > :16:44.to go on a single track minutes before it collided head

:16:45. > :16:47.23 people died in the crash earlier this week.

:16:48. > :16:49.The rail line relies on an antiquated phone alert system

:16:50. > :17:06.Let's got back to the UK's new Prime Minister.

:17:07. > :17:09.Theresa May is not short of things to do - but probably top

:17:10. > :17:13.We're already seeing signs that her approach could be

:17:14. > :17:16.quite different from her predecessor.

:17:17. > :17:17.David Cameron and his Chancellor George Osborne

:17:18. > :17:20.were committed to austerity - they and their supporters

:17:21. > :17:22.believed it was necessary to provide a foundation

:17:23. > :17:27.By introducing these austerity policies.

:17:28. > :17:30.Critics say it disproportionately affected the poorest in society -

:17:31. > :17:37.Whichever point of view you want to take on, this was Theresa May on

:17:38. > :17:44.Monday. "We need an economy that works

:17:45. > :17:47.for everyone," "It is apparent to anybody who is in touch

:17:48. > :17:49.with the real world that people do not feel our economy

:17:50. > :17:52.works that way at all." We turned to the BBC's Jonty Bloom

:17:53. > :18:05.to assess David Cameron's I suppose the criticism was of

:18:06. > :18:08.George Osborne's policy on what we saw the referendum. Many people

:18:09. > :18:11.voted out of the EU because they felt the economy was not working for

:18:12. > :18:15.them, that they did not have anything to lose. That they had been

:18:16. > :18:20.the victims of cuts to service, were living in areas of high unemployment

:18:21. > :18:25.that the deliberately didn't care. This is what she says will change,

:18:26. > :18:29.she says the Government will care about the lower down in society and

:18:30. > :18:33.not just the elite and the rich. I am not dismissing what she said in

:18:34. > :18:36.Downing Street yesterday but often when leaders kick off as they say

:18:37. > :18:42.they want to serve the entire country, and it may well be sincere

:18:43. > :18:47.but it is incredibly hard to do. Yes, we are still running a huge

:18:48. > :18:50.deficit, borrowing between 17 and ?18 billion a year at the moment and

:18:51. > :18:53.the Government has just admitted it will not reach its target so that

:18:54. > :18:58.will increase in coming years. We have an economy which is slowing

:18:59. > :19:01.down, looking as though it may be going into a recession, then there

:19:02. > :19:05.is all the uncertainty surrounding the exit from the European Union.

:19:06. > :19:07.Those are all economic problems the Government has and yet the Prime

:19:08. > :19:12.Minister is saying at the same time we need to shift the economy so it

:19:13. > :19:16.serves the poorer in society better, and that is a structural change that

:19:17. > :19:20.it is very difficult to force through, is very controversial and

:19:21. > :19:23.will take a long time. To break this down into policy, Philip Hammond has

:19:24. > :19:28.an almost infinite amount of options. What do you think his

:19:29. > :19:32.priorities will be? He is bound to want to reassure. He has already

:19:33. > :19:35.said he will reassure foreign investors, consumers and British

:19:36. > :19:38.business, and it is rather difficult because they are mainly worried

:19:39. > :19:41.about what it will be like after we leave the EU and we do not know what

:19:42. > :19:45.that will be like. I would suggest he is probably going to stick with

:19:46. > :19:51.something like George Osborne's policy of reducing corporation tax

:19:52. > :19:54.so companies have an additional reason to come to the UK and that

:19:55. > :19:58.can offset some of their worries about the future. But if he is going

:19:59. > :20:02.to start shifting money away from the very rich, from high-paid

:20:03. > :20:06.executives and towards workers, that is difficult because we already have

:20:07. > :20:10.a minimum wage that was increased dramatically by George Osborne. We

:20:11. > :20:14.do not have laws restricting how much companies can pay people, we do

:20:15. > :20:19.not have high levels of taxation and the Conservative Party has reduced

:20:20. > :20:23.the top level from 50 to 45%. Is all that going to be reversed? It does

:20:24. > :20:25.not sound like recognisable Conservative policy from recent

:20:26. > :20:29.decades. It will be strange to see how he's going to do it and, more

:20:30. > :20:34.importantly, where he will find the money for it as well. Here is the
