:00:23. > :00:26.Theresa Villiers has left the government,

:00:27. > :00:30.after turning down a new job she said she could not take on.

:00:31. > :00:39.We get first impressions on the new Prime Minister, Theresa May:

:00:40. > :00:44.she also owns racehorses, so take no nonsense from anyone as well.

:00:45. > :00:47.Theresa May says she wants to help families for

:00:48. > :00:49.whom life is a struggle - but do they believe her.

:00:50. > :00:53.The young student who came top of his class despite having to go

:00:54. > :00:55.through treatment for testicular cancer.

:00:56. > :00:59.We'll have news of a decent start for Rory McIlroy in the First Round

:01:00. > :01:05.And some warmth in the air over the next 24 hours but not as dry

:01:06. > :01:17.The new Secretary of State is James Brokenshire.

:01:18. > :01:19.A 48-year-old MP from London who practiced law.

:01:20. > :01:22.He entered parliament six years ago and had domestic national security

:01:23. > :01:24.and counter terrorism roles at the Home Office.

:01:25. > :01:27.The appointment was made after Theresa Villiers refused an offer

:01:28. > :01:29.from the new Prime Minister, Theresa May, of a junior position

:01:30. > :01:33.It's understood it was a security role in the Home Office.

:01:34. > :01:37.at Hillsborough Castle, when Mr Brokenshire will arrive

:01:38. > :01:41.the Secretary of State's official residence.

:01:42. > :01:44.He's already been greeted at the Northern Ireland Office

:01:45. > :01:47.in London by the Permanent Secretary, Sir Jonathan Stephens -

:01:48. > :01:49.this picture was released by the NIO.

:01:50. > :01:51.Mr Brokenshire tweeted that he is ""delighted and honoured"

:01:52. > :01:56.This evening, we'll continue to examine the implications

:01:57. > :01:59.of the fast-paced events in Downing Street,

:02:00. > :02:01.First though, here's our political correspondent Enda McClafferty

:02:02. > :02:03.on Theresa Villiers' time at Hillsborough Castle

:02:04. > :02:11.Meet Northern Ireland's new secretary of state. James

:02:12. > :02:17.Brokenshire I was summoned to number ten this evening to be given his new

:02:18. > :02:24.post. Born in Essex he has been MP for said cup in east London for the

:02:25. > :02:29.last ten years. Married with ten Lee magnify children. You may be new

:02:30. > :02:34.Labour is no stranger to Theresa May, he worked with her in the Home

:02:35. > :02:38.Office. One look at his CV annual seed is specialist subject is

:02:39. > :02:41.security. He served that security minister with response relative for

:02:42. > :02:46.counterterrorism, and also involved in overseeing the work of MI5.

:02:47. > :02:49.During the Olympics in London, into government he was one of those

:02:50. > :02:51.charged with the security of the operation. He's also very familiar

:02:52. > :02:57.with the National Crime Agency, which operates here. He used to

:02:58. > :03:01.oversee it, so he should commit you would think, be well equipped to

:03:02. > :03:06.deal with our security and policing problems. But perhaps most

:03:07. > :03:09.crucially, he, unlike his predecessor, Theresa Villiers, voted

:03:10. > :03:12.to remain in the EU, and just yesterday said he could see no

:03:13. > :03:17.reason that the border arrangements with the Republic should change. If

:03:18. > :03:20.he is on the remains that he might have empathy for people here who

:03:21. > :03:26.have made it clear they want to remain in the EU, and there will be

:03:27. > :03:32.a interesting dynamic between the interest here and Britain. Back for

:03:33. > :03:37.years, Theresa Villiers marched into number ten to be given the job. I

:03:38. > :03:42.was delighted. I didn't know what to expect from the reshuffle, and

:03:43. > :03:47.really thrilled at being given this dog to do by the Prime Minister. --

:03:48. > :03:50.job to do. But this time the reshuffle to a different result that

:03:51. > :03:53.Theresa Villiers. There was no seat at the Cabinet table, instead she

:03:54. > :03:56.was offered a role at the Home Office which she turns down. She

:03:57. > :04:04.broke the news on her Facebook page. She said the kind offer from a

:04:05. > :04:09.promise that was kind but she couldn't take it. She believes that

:04:10. > :04:12.she led the political situation in a more stable position than it has

:04:13. > :04:16.been for many years. I think she got to know the issues very well and is

:04:17. > :04:19.more than that she got to know personalities as well and as I say I

:04:20. > :04:23.wish her all the very best for the future and I am sure she will be

:04:24. > :04:28.back in another role in the party in some course. During that time,

:04:29. > :04:31.Theresa Villiers faced many challenges, not least dealing with

:04:32. > :04:35.the political fallout from welfare reform, which almost brought down

:04:36. > :04:41.Stormont. She was involved in the Stormont house talks, and the first

:04:42. > :04:44.agreement. I believe this is a good day for Northern Ireland and it

:04:45. > :04:48.marks a fresh start for Northern Ireland's devolved institutions. But

:04:49. > :04:50.Theresa Villiers to go very different approach from her

:04:51. > :04:59.predecessors, and sometimes accused of being vague. She was completely

:05:00. > :05:03.vacant, very cold and remote manner. She didn't actually develop any

:05:04. > :05:07.relationship with any of the leading political figures here, she was too

:05:08. > :05:11.close to the DUP. She didn't develop close relationships with any

:05:12. > :05:15.individuals, in the DUP, and really in the last three years, we haven't

:05:16. > :05:23.got anywhere. We're still waiting for a solution to parades, flags,

:05:24. > :05:30.emblems, the past. Next up Hillsborough. They are waiting for

:05:31. > :05:34.him as a sizeable inbox -- there, waiting for him, a sizeable inbox.

:05:35. > :05:37.Before we came on air I spoke to BBC London's political

:05:38. > :05:40.reporter Susana Mendonsa and I asked her what we can expect

:05:41. > :05:47.James Brokenshire was someone who very much believed in remaining in

:05:48. > :05:52.the EU, and so, considering that he's now going into a role of a

:05:53. > :05:57.Northern Ireland Secretary, a place, one of the few places in the UK that

:05:58. > :06:01.voted to remain in the EU, I suspect that will have been a factor really

:06:02. > :06:06.into razor made choosing that post for him and to replace Theresa

:06:07. > :06:09.Villiers, who of course somebody campaigning very much to leave the

:06:10. > :06:16.European Union, so his focus will be on trying to maintain the union. We

:06:17. > :06:19.know that Theresa May once the union to continue, doesn't want is the

:06:20. > :06:23.break-up with the United Kingdom and that will be very much his focus.

:06:24. > :06:27.Nothing in particular at Northern Ireland in his CV? And there is

:06:28. > :06:30.nothing particularly bad Northern Ireland in background, but in terms

:06:31. > :06:35.of his backrub before he can in MP, he worked in the legal profession,

:06:36. > :06:41.and he very much... He has been focused on home affairs during his

:06:42. > :06:44.entire career, pretty much, as an MP, and so, nothing specifically

:06:45. > :06:47.about Northern Ireland, but certainly he is somebody who Theresa

:06:48. > :06:55.May trusts, and he is someone who gets on with the job. He's a dealer.

:06:56. > :07:00.The border issue potential will become an issue. What is his style,

:07:01. > :07:04.is he a people person? He is, he works in a collegiate way with

:07:05. > :07:07.people around him, and quite a mild mannered individual so somebody that

:07:08. > :07:12.I think would work well in terms of negotiations, with different groups,

:07:13. > :07:13.and certainly in the role in Northern Ireland that will be his

:07:14. > :07:16.focus, I'm sure. The new Secretary of State has

:07:17. > :07:18.released a statement saying his priorities will include

:07:19. > :07:20.the full implementation of the Stormont House

:07:21. > :07:22.and Fresh Start Agreements and addressing the

:07:23. > :07:23.legacy of the past. Mr Brokenshire also says

:07:24. > :07:26.that as the UK prepares to leave the European Union,

:07:27. > :07:29.it is vital that Northern Ireland's interests are fully protected

:07:30. > :07:34.and advanced including in relation The choice of Secretary of State

:07:35. > :07:39.is the first big decision about Northern Ireland

:07:40. > :07:41.that the new Prime BBC Newsline's Mark Simpson has been

:07:42. > :07:45.taking a closer look at Theresa May and getting

:07:46. > :07:57.the views of people here. The last time she came to Northern

:07:58. > :08:04.Ireland, Theresa May left with a present. There you go! I've never

:08:05. > :08:10.had a hair brush with my photograph on it before. This was only three

:08:11. > :08:14.weeks ago. He was still in charge at the time, and she was trying to

:08:15. > :08:18.avoid Brexit, rather than make it work. He was what she said that they

:08:19. > :08:24.will stop I think Northern Ireland will be better off, I'd say, within

:08:25. > :08:29.the European Union. Yesterday it was a very different union she focused

:08:30. > :08:32.on. In her first speech as Prime Minister. Not everybody knows this

:08:33. > :08:38.but the full title of my party is the Conservative and Unionist party,

:08:39. > :08:42.and that word Unionist is very important to me. Events in London

:08:43. > :08:49.are being watched closely in Belfast. So, what's the initial

:08:50. > :08:52.assessment of Theresa May? Rhys-macro as an owner of a small

:08:53. > :08:55.business, I don't think she's great news for the likes of its oil

:08:56. > :08:58.business. London is one thing but there are is more to the UK than

:08:59. > :09:05.London. Theresa May, what do you think? Don't know. She owns

:09:06. > :09:10.racehorses, so she will take no nonsense from no one. Which is ten

:09:11. > :09:15.out of ten are my butt. I do honestly think she will do a good

:09:16. > :09:21.job, but time will tell. I don't trust her for a start, I don't trust

:09:22. > :09:24.any of the Tories. I think it is good to have somebody in charge,

:09:25. > :09:28.because it is being a bit of kind of where are we going to mark overly

:09:29. > :09:33.now a good strong voice from a good strong woman, and let's wait and

:09:34. > :09:36.see. Nabb is one thing we know already. She's going to be busy.

:09:37. > :09:37.Mark Simpson, BBC newsline. Before entering No ten

:09:38. > :09:39.for the first time yesterday, Theresa May spoke directly

:09:40. > :09:41.to working families She said she understood life can be

:09:42. > :09:45.a struggle, in an address that's being interpreted as a pitch

:09:46. > :09:48.for the centre ground in politics. But how are her words being received

:09:49. > :09:51.with the very people Catherine Morrison's

:09:52. > :10:06.been finding out. A family day out during the school

:10:07. > :10:10.holidays. The costs can add up the man for many people who are working

:10:11. > :10:14.hard, but still struggling to make ends meet, they are an occasional

:10:15. > :10:20.treat. Its families like these that the new Prime Minister appealed to

:10:21. > :10:23.do directly, in her first speech. I know you're working around the

:10:24. > :10:29.clock, I know you're doing your best, and I know that sometimes life

:10:30. > :10:34.can be a struggle. The government I lead will be driven not by the

:10:35. > :10:39.interests of the privileged few, but by yours. So do her words strike a

:10:40. > :10:49.chord with people here? Like the Glass family from Belfast. With

:10:50. > :10:56.running on just my husbands wage. When they both visions of the EU

:10:57. > :11:05.believe her? No. No, I don't think they have any concept of the average

:11:06. > :11:11.Joe. It's difficult, because austerity has just gone up and up --

:11:12. > :11:20.costs dusting to go up and up, but I knew just deep -- you just have two

:11:21. > :11:29.the deeper knuckle down. And as you see, this kid is stealing money out

:11:30. > :11:34.my pocket. Group to advise people facing debt or even repossession,

:11:35. > :11:39.are watching the new Prime Minister very carefully. Roof of the bidding

:11:40. > :11:43.will be in the tasting. What actual policies, what will she practically

:11:44. > :11:46.do for people? One example to Theresa May would be actually

:11:47. > :11:51.reverse those cuts that are within the universal credit system, for

:11:52. > :11:56.people in work, who would be reliant on that money. It's been a long

:11:57. > :11:58.recession, and people are clearly still feeling the pinch, but hoping

:11:59. > :12:02.they're heading towards a more prosperous future.

:12:03. > :12:05.The Taoiseach was one of the world leaders that the new Prime Minister

:12:06. > :12:07.talked to in the hours after her appointment.

:12:08. > :12:10.Enda Kenny says she has agreed to build on the strong relationship

:12:11. > :12:17.Our Dublin correspondent Shane Harrison joins me now.

:12:18. > :12:20.The Taoiseach was one of the world leaders that the new Prime Minister

:12:21. > :12:22.talked to in the hours after her appointment.

:12:23. > :12:25.Enda Kenny says she has agreed to build on the strong relationship

:12:26. > :12:28.Our Dublin correspondent Shane Harrison joins me now.

:12:29. > :12:32.Tara, Dublin hasn't confirmed this but Theresa May is understood you

:12:33. > :12:35.are wrong ad in the Kenny and in a statement last night and Kenny said

:12:36. > :12:38.that they spoke about the strong relations that exist between the two

:12:39. > :12:41.states, and both expressed their joint support for the Good Friday

:12:42. > :12:45.Agreement, and the peace process. Now, needless to say there was also

:12:46. > :12:50.mention of the UK referendum decision, and the decision to leave

:12:51. > :12:53.the European Union. Since that boat, politicians in both states have

:12:54. > :12:58.expressed their support for a continuation of the Common travel

:12:59. > :13:01.area, have both spoken about Northern Ireland of course, and that

:13:02. > :13:06.continuing trade between the two states valued at over a billion

:13:07. > :13:13.euros a week. And if anyone this week on Tuesday in Berlin for a

:13:14. > :13:15.meeting with Angela Merkel, and despite the close relationship

:13:16. > :13:25.between Ireland and the UK, she said though would -- they are one of the

:13:26. > :13:29.27 states negotiating. Francois Hollande is going to be in Dublin

:13:30. > :13:34.this week, so there is a sense of growing momentum, with the Taoiseach

:13:35. > :13:37.and Kenny saying that he hopes to finish their Prime Minister made in

:13:38. > :13:41.the coming weeks, but the bottom line is three weeks after the UK

:13:42. > :13:46.vote, we still don't know what the UK wants in terms of its

:13:47. > :13:48.relationship with the European Union. OK, Shane, we'll leave it

:13:49. > :13:48.there. Now many people have

:13:49. > :13:51.found their summer holiday this year since the referendum has led

:13:52. > :13:57.to a hike in the cost of trips abroad, especially when it

:13:58. > :14:09.comes to spending money. Money makes the world go round, and

:14:10. > :14:14.if you're travelling the world, you'll need plenty of it. That's why

:14:15. > :14:18.it's important to get the best possible deal on foreign currency,

:14:19. > :14:23.but post-Brexit, exchange rates just aren't what they used to be. We were

:14:24. > :14:28.playing to go to great show, so will definitely need your road then, and

:14:29. > :14:31.although we haven't actually change anything, we are hoping that is

:14:32. > :14:36.going to go back up again, but I don't know if it well. It's better

:14:37. > :14:40.for us at the moment. Absolutely, so we might start coming back to the

:14:41. > :14:46.UK, at the moment, the euro is pretty strong against the sterling.

:14:47. > :14:51.It a business trip, to the England committee UK, that's a problem.

:14:52. > :14:55.France, Germany... It a bit uncertain. If I were travelling

:14:56. > :15:01.today and waited till I got to the airport to buy my holiday money,

:15:02. > :15:05.?500 would get me 516 euros, but if I'd gone on the same company's

:15:06. > :15:14.website yesterday, and pre-booked it, by ?500 would get me over 579

:15:15. > :15:16.euros. That's more than 60 of a difference. But a little bit of

:15:17. > :15:23.shopping around can mean more money in your pocket. Airport exchanges

:15:24. > :15:27.are not the best, they've got a captive audience. You can sometimes

:15:28. > :15:31.buy it cheaper online, or at your local premises to get it as well.

:15:32. > :15:34.It's just a case of shopping around to get the best deal. There are

:15:35. > :15:39.things like prepaid cards which means that you can purchase those in

:15:40. > :15:42.advance, and know that there is no hidden costs. So, as with most

:15:43. > :15:44.things, travel related, it pays to plan ahead.

:15:45. > :15:46.Cancer is a shocking diagnosis for anyone to receive.

:15:47. > :15:48.But it's probably most unexpected when you're young.

:15:49. > :15:51.One student at Queen's University got that unwelcome news

:15:52. > :15:57.Since then, he's undergone the emotional turmoil of treatment.

:15:58. > :16:01.Despite it all - he's graduated top of the class.

:16:02. > :16:14.Time to move on. Can is racking up his student house with his

:16:15. > :16:18.girlfriend. The last few months have been top, but not because of the

:16:19. > :16:24.workload. His biggest hurdle has been dealing with a diagnosis of

:16:25. > :16:26.testicular cancer. It was very clear to me that I needed to go get

:16:27. > :16:32.something checked out, so my testicle had started to expand to a

:16:33. > :16:36.size where I thought something is terribly wrong. The 21-year-old from

:16:37. > :16:40.Birmingham studied international politics at Queens. He is leaving

:16:41. > :16:44.with a first-class degree, despite months of attending appointments and

:16:45. > :16:48.time off for treatment. Chemotherapy was an interesting... Interesting

:16:49. > :16:54.for me, I was very fortunate and very grateful that I only spend a

:16:55. > :16:57.very short amount of time in hospital, compared to a lot of other

:16:58. > :17:02.patients with MS in there. It was a difficult time, and you don't get a

:17:03. > :17:07.lot of sleep. You're constantly concerned when you're hooked up to a

:17:08. > :17:10.machine that something could go wrong. Testicular cancer is

:17:11. > :17:13.relatively rare, occurring mostly in young men. Most of those who are

:17:14. > :17:18.diagnosed can be successfully treated, but the surgery required

:17:19. > :17:24.meant even was forced to think about his future desires for children with

:17:25. > :17:32.his girlfriend Alicia. We have both had to go to strew strange moments,

:17:33. > :17:36.when she came to visit me in Birmingham, we went to expand the

:17:37. > :17:41.nation because one of the side-effects of June 30 is

:17:42. > :17:45.infidelity. It was just a difficult conversation, we will not really

:17:46. > :17:50.thinking long-term things such as get a and having the thing about our

:17:51. > :17:54.lives... Into our 30s and into our 40s, and make decisions at this

:17:55. > :17:58.point about that. That future is looking bright. Ethan has been given

:17:59. > :18:02.the all clear, and he says of the young men shouldn't ignore problems

:18:03. > :18:07.with their genitals because of embarrassment. It's better to have a

:18:08. > :18:10.definitive answer than live in a world of possibility and

:18:11. > :18:19.speculation. You know, your health, at the end of the day, is of... I

:18:20. > :18:23.have been reminded a lot of the caring nature of family and friends.

:18:24. > :18:28.Ethan is heading back to Birmingham for a new chapter in his journey and

:18:29. > :18:30.is determined to value the moment. -- every moment.

:18:31. > :18:34.Now sport - and Day one at the Open at Royal Troon and Stephen Watson

:18:35. > :18:46.Stephen. Tara, Viceroy much. It's been a solid start to the open

:18:47. > :18:51.Championships for the world number four Rory McIlroy. He shot an

:18:52. > :18:55.opening round of two under par, inside the top 20, but still six

:18:56. > :19:05.shots behind the current runaway leader of the former champion from

:19:06. > :19:15.America all medicine. Phil Mickelson. Also, after his round

:19:16. > :19:18.today, Michael Roy was criticised about comments he made earlier this

:19:19. > :19:23.week regarding the Olympic games but here's the

:19:24. > :19:28.story of Rowley, gave up the last time Rory McIlroy played in an open

:19:29. > :19:30.than he won it in 2014, before missing last year through injury,

:19:31. > :19:36.and he started today with much expectation. It didn't take the

:19:37. > :19:42.world number four Blair long defined as touch. This was for his second

:19:43. > :19:54.birdie at the sick. And another followed, at the next hole. At Phil

:19:55. > :20:02.Mickelson's most tricky points, he produced the shot of the day.

:20:03. > :20:07.Another birdie. He was showing form that has won him titles. This is his
