Northern Ireland has a new Secretary of State -

:00:15.:00:20.

he's James Brokenshire, a Remain campaigner

:00:21.:00:22.

Theresa Villiers has left the government,

:00:23.:00:26.

after turning down a new job she said she could not take on.

:00:27.:00:30.

We get first impressions on the new Prime Minister, Theresa May:

:00:31.:00:39.

she also owns racehorses, so take no nonsense from anyone as well.

:00:40.:00:44.

Theresa May says she wants to help families for

:00:45.:00:47.

whom life is a struggle - but do they believe her.

:00:48.:00:49.

The young student who came top of his class despite having to go

:00:50.:00:53.

through treatment for testicular cancer.

:00:54.:00:55.

We'll have news of a decent start for Rory McIlroy in the First Round

:00:56.:00:59.

And some warmth in the air over the next 24 hours but not as dry

:01:00.:01:05.

The new Secretary of State is James Brokenshire.

:01:06.:01:17.

A 48-year-old MP from London who practiced law.

:01:18.:01:19.

He entered parliament six years ago and had domestic national security

:01:20.:01:22.

and counter terrorism roles at the Home Office.

:01:23.:01:24.

The appointment was made after Theresa Villiers refused an offer

:01:25.:01:27.

from the new Prime Minister, Theresa May, of a junior position

:01:28.:01:29.

It's understood it was a security role in the Home Office.

:01:30.:01:33.

at Hillsborough Castle, when Mr Brokenshire will arrive

:01:34.:01:37.

the Secretary of State's official residence.

:01:38.:01:41.

He's already been greeted at the Northern Ireland Office

:01:42.:01:44.

in London by the Permanent Secretary, Sir Jonathan Stephens -

:01:45.:01:47.

this picture was released by the NIO.

:01:48.:01:49.

Mr Brokenshire tweeted that he is ""delighted and honoured"

:01:50.:01:51.

This evening, we'll continue to examine the implications

:01:52.:01:56.

of the fast-paced events in Downing Street,

:01:57.:01:59.

First though, here's our political correspondent Enda McClafferty

:02:00.:02:01.

on Theresa Villiers' time at Hillsborough Castle

:02:02.:02:03.

Meet Northern Ireland's new secretary of state. James

:02:04.:02:11.

Brokenshire I was summoned to number ten this evening to be given his new

:02:12.:02:17.

post. Born in Essex he has been MP for said cup in east London for the

:02:18.:02:24.

last ten years. Married with ten Lee magnify children. You may be new

:02:25.:02:29.

Labour is no stranger to Theresa May, he worked with her in the Home

:02:30.:02:34.

Office. One look at his CV annual seed is specialist subject is

:02:35.:02:38.

security. He served that security minister with response relative for

:02:39.:02:41.

counterterrorism, and also involved in overseeing the work of MI5.

:02:42.:02:46.

During the Olympics in London, into government he was one of those

:02:47.:02:49.

charged with the security of the operation. He's also very familiar

:02:50.:02:51.

with the National Crime Agency, which operates here. He used to

:02:52.:02:57.

oversee it, so he should commit you would think, be well equipped to

:02:58.:03:01.

deal with our security and policing problems. But perhaps most

:03:02.:03:06.

crucially, he, unlike his predecessor, Theresa Villiers, voted

:03:07.:03:09.

to remain in the EU, and just yesterday said he could see no

:03:10.:03:12.

reason that the border arrangements with the Republic should change. If

:03:13.:03:17.

he is on the remains that he might have empathy for people here who

:03:18.:03:20.

have made it clear they want to remain in the EU, and there will be

:03:21.:03:26.

a interesting dynamic between the interest here and Britain. Back for

:03:27.:03:32.

years, Theresa Villiers marched into number ten to be given the job. I

:03:33.:03:37.

was delighted. I didn't know what to expect from the reshuffle, and

:03:38.:03:42.

really thrilled at being given this dog to do by the Prime Minister. --

:03:43.:03:47.

job to do. But this time the reshuffle to a different result that

:03:48.:03:50.

Theresa Villiers. There was no seat at the Cabinet table, instead she

:03:51.:03:53.

was offered a role at the Home Office which she turns down. She

:03:54.:03:56.

broke the news on her Facebook page. She said the kind offer from a

:03:57.:04:04.

promise that was kind but she couldn't take it. She believes that

:04:05.:04:09.

she led the political situation in a more stable position than it has

:04:10.:04:12.

been for many years. I think she got to know the issues very well and is

:04:13.:04:16.

more than that she got to know personalities as well and as I say I

:04:17.:04:19.

wish her all the very best for the future and I am sure she will be

:04:20.:04:23.

back in another role in the party in some course. During that time,

:04:24.:04:28.

Theresa Villiers faced many challenges, not least dealing with

:04:29.:04:31.

the political fallout from welfare reform, which almost brought down

:04:32.:04:35.

Stormont. She was involved in the Stormont house talks, and the first

:04:36.:04:41.

agreement. I believe this is a good day for Northern Ireland and it

:04:42.:04:44.

marks a fresh start for Northern Ireland's devolved institutions. But

:04:45.:04:48.

Theresa Villiers to go very different approach from her

:04:49.:04:50.

predecessors, and sometimes accused of being vague. She was completely

:04:51.:04:59.

vacant, very cold and remote manner. She didn't actually develop any

:05:00.:05:03.

relationship with any of the leading political figures here, she was too

:05:04.:05:07.

close to the DUP. She didn't develop close relationships with any

:05:08.:05:11.

individuals, in the DUP, and really in the last three years, we haven't

:05:12.:05:15.

got anywhere. We're still waiting for a solution to parades, flags,

:05:16.:05:23.

emblems, the past. Next up Hillsborough. They are waiting for

:05:24.:05:30.

him as a sizeable inbox -- there, waiting for him, a sizeable inbox.

:05:31.:05:34.

Before we came on air I spoke to BBC London's political

:05:35.:05:37.

reporter Susana Mendonsa and I asked her what we can expect

:05:38.:05:40.

James Brokenshire was someone who very much believed in remaining in

:05:41.:05:47.

the EU, and so, considering that he's now going into a role of a

:05:48.:05:52.

Northern Ireland Secretary, a place, one of the few places in the UK that

:05:53.:05:57.

voted to remain in the EU, I suspect that will have been a factor really

:05:58.:06:01.

into razor made choosing that post for him and to replace Theresa

:06:02.:06:06.

Villiers, who of course somebody campaigning very much to leave the

:06:07.:06:09.

European Union, so his focus will be on trying to maintain the union. We

:06:10.:06:16.

know that Theresa May once the union to continue, doesn't want is the

:06:17.:06:19.

break-up with the United Kingdom and that will be very much his focus.

:06:20.:06:23.

Nothing in particular at Northern Ireland in his CV? And there is

:06:24.:06:27.

nothing particularly bad Northern Ireland in background, but in terms

:06:28.:06:30.

of his backrub before he can in MP, he worked in the legal profession,

:06:31.:06:35.

and he very much... He has been focused on home affairs during his

:06:36.:06:41.

entire career, pretty much, as an MP, and so, nothing specifically

:06:42.:06:44.

about Northern Ireland, but certainly he is somebody who Theresa

:06:45.:06:47.

May trusts, and he is someone who gets on with the job. He's a dealer.

:06:48.:06:55.

The border issue potential will become an issue. What is his style,

:06:56.:07:00.

is he a people person? He is, he works in a collegiate way with

:07:01.:07:04.

people around him, and quite a mild mannered individual so somebody that

:07:05.:07:07.

I think would work well in terms of negotiations, with different groups,

:07:08.:07:12.

and certainly in the role in Northern Ireland that will be his

:07:13.:07:13.

focus, I'm sure. The new Secretary of State has

:07:14.:07:16.

released a statement saying his priorities will include

:07:17.:07:18.

the full implementation of the Stormont House

:07:19.:07:20.

and Fresh Start Agreements and addressing the

:07:21.:07:22.

legacy of the past. Mr Brokenshire also says

:07:23.:07:23.

that as the UK prepares to leave the European Union,

:07:24.:07:26.

it is vital that Northern Ireland's interests are fully protected

:07:27.:07:29.

and advanced including in relation The choice of Secretary of State

:07:30.:07:34.

is the first big decision about Northern Ireland

:07:35.:07:39.

that the new Prime BBC Newsline's Mark Simpson has been

:07:40.:07:41.

taking a closer look at Theresa May and getting

:07:42.:07:45.

the views of people here. The last time she came to Northern

:07:46.:07:57.

Ireland, Theresa May left with a present. There you go! I've never

:07:58.:08:04.

had a hair brush with my photograph on it before. This was only three

:08:05.:08:10.

weeks ago. He was still in charge at the time, and she was trying to

:08:11.:08:14.

avoid Brexit, rather than make it work. He was what she said that they

:08:15.:08:18.

will stop I think Northern Ireland will be better off, I'd say, within

:08:19.:08:24.

the European Union. Yesterday it was a very different union she focused

:08:25.:08:29.

on. In her first speech as Prime Minister. Not everybody knows this

:08:30.:08:32.

but the full title of my party is the Conservative and Unionist party,

:08:33.:08:38.

and that word Unionist is very important to me. Events in London

:08:39.:08:42.

are being watched closely in Belfast. So, what's the initial

:08:43.:08:49.

assessment of Theresa May? Rhys-macro as an owner of a small

:08:50.:08:52.

business, I don't think she's great news for the likes of its oil

:08:53.:08:55.

business. London is one thing but there are is more to the UK than

:08:56.:08:58.

London. Theresa May, what do you think? Don't know. She owns

:08:59.:09:05.

racehorses, so she will take no nonsense from no one. Which is ten

:09:06.:09:10.

out of ten are my butt. I do honestly think she will do a good

:09:11.:09:15.

job, but time will tell. I don't trust her for a start, I don't trust

:09:16.:09:21.

any of the Tories. I think it is good to have somebody in charge,

:09:22.:09:24.

because it is being a bit of kind of where are we going to mark overly

:09:25.:09:28.

now a good strong voice from a good strong woman, and let's wait and

:09:29.:09:33.

see. Nabb is one thing we know already. She's going to be busy.

:09:34.:09:36.

Mark Simpson, BBC newsline. Before entering No ten

:09:37.:09:37.

for the first time yesterday, Theresa May spoke directly

:09:38.:09:39.

to working families She said she understood life can be

:09:40.:09:41.

a struggle, in an address that's being interpreted as a pitch

:09:42.:09:45.

for the centre ground in politics. But how are her words being received

:09:46.:09:48.

with the very people Catherine Morrison's

:09:49.:09:51.

been finding out. A family day out during the school

:09:52.:10:06.

holidays. The costs can add up the man for many people who are working

:10:07.:10:10.

hard, but still struggling to make ends meet, they are an occasional

:10:11.:10:14.

treat. Its families like these that the new Prime Minister appealed to

:10:15.:10:20.

do directly, in her first speech. I know you're working around the

:10:21.:10:23.

clock, I know you're doing your best, and I know that sometimes life

:10:24.:10:29.

can be a struggle. The government I lead will be driven not by the

:10:30.:10:34.

interests of the privileged few, but by yours. So do her words strike a

:10:35.:10:39.

chord with people here? Like the Glass family from Belfast. With

:10:40.:10:49.

running on just my husbands wage. When they both visions of the EU

:10:50.:10:56.

believe her? No. No, I don't think they have any concept of the average

:10:57.:11:05.

Joe. It's difficult, because austerity has just gone up and up --

:11:06.:11:11.

costs dusting to go up and up, but I knew just deep -- you just have two

:11:12.:11:20.

the deeper knuckle down. And as you see, this kid is stealing money out

:11:21.:11:29.

my pocket. Group to advise people facing debt or even repossession,

:11:30.:11:34.

are watching the new Prime Minister very carefully. Roof of the bidding

:11:35.:11:39.

will be in the tasting. What actual policies, what will she practically

:11:40.:11:43.

do for people? One example to Theresa May would be actually

:11:44.:11:46.

reverse those cuts that are within the universal credit system, for

:11:47.:11:51.

people in work, who would be reliant on that money. It's been a long

:11:52.:11:56.

recession, and people are clearly still feeling the pinch, but hoping

:11:57.:11:58.

they're heading towards a more prosperous future.

:11:59.:12:02.

The Taoiseach was one of the world leaders that the new Prime Minister

:12:03.:12:05.

talked to in the hours after her appointment.

:12:06.:12:07.

Enda Kenny says she has agreed to build on the strong relationship

:12:08.:12:10.

Our Dublin correspondent Shane Harrison joins me now.

:12:11.:12:17.

The Taoiseach was one of the world leaders that the new Prime Minister

:12:18.:12:20.

talked to in the hours after her appointment.

:12:21.:12:22.

Enda Kenny says she has agreed to build on the strong relationship

:12:23.:12:25.

Our Dublin correspondent Shane Harrison joins me now.

:12:26.:12:28.

Tara, Dublin hasn't confirmed this but Theresa May is understood you

:12:29.:12:32.

are wrong ad in the Kenny and in a statement last night and Kenny said

:12:33.:12:35.

that they spoke about the strong relations that exist between the two

:12:36.:12:38.

states, and both expressed their joint support for the Good Friday

:12:39.:12:41.

Agreement, and the peace process. Now, needless to say there was also

:12:42.:12:45.

mention of the UK referendum decision, and the decision to leave

:12:46.:12:50.

the European Union. Since that boat, politicians in both states have

:12:51.:12:53.

expressed their support for a continuation of the Common travel

:12:54.:12:58.

area, have both spoken about Northern Ireland of course, and that

:12:59.:13:01.

continuing trade between the two states valued at over a billion

:13:02.:13:06.

euros a week. And if anyone this week on Tuesday in Berlin for a

:13:07.:13:13.

meeting with Angela Merkel, and despite the close relationship

:13:14.:13:15.

between Ireland and the UK, she said though would -- they are one of the

:13:16.:13:25.

27 states negotiating. Francois Hollande is going to be in Dublin

:13:26.:13:29.

this week, so there is a sense of growing momentum, with the Taoiseach

:13:30.:13:34.

and Kenny saying that he hopes to finish their Prime Minister made in

:13:35.:13:37.

the coming weeks, but the bottom line is three weeks after the UK

:13:38.:13:41.

vote, we still don't know what the UK wants in terms of its

:13:42.:13:46.

relationship with the European Union. OK, Shane, we'll leave it

:13:47.:13:48.

there. Now many people have

:13:49.:13:48.

found their summer holiday this year since the referendum has led

:13:49.:13:51.

to a hike in the cost of trips abroad, especially when it

:13:52.:13:57.

comes to spending money. Money makes the world go round, and

:13:58.:14:09.

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

:14:10.:14:14.

it's important to get the best possible deal on foreign currency,

:14:15.:14:18.

but post-Brexit, exchange rates just aren't what they used to be. We were

:14:19.:14:23.

playing to go to great show, so will definitely need your road then, and

:14:24.:14:28.

although we haven't actually change anything, we are hoping that is

:14:29.:14:31.

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

:14:32.:14:36.

for us at the moment. Absolutely, so we might start coming back to the

:14:37.:14:40.

UK, at the moment, the euro is pretty strong against the sterling.

:14:41.:14:46.

It a business trip, to the England committee UK, that's a problem.

:14:47.:14:51.

France, Germany... It a bit uncertain. If I were travelling

:14:52.:14:55.

today and waited till I got to the airport to buy my holiday money,

:14:56.:15:01.

?500 would get me 516 euros, but if I'd gone on the same company's

:15:02.:15:05.

website yesterday, and pre-booked it, by ?500 would get me over 579

:15:06.:15:14.

euros. That's more than 60 of a difference. But a little bit of

:15:15.:15:16.

shopping around can mean more money in your pocket. Airport exchanges

:15:17.:15:23.

are not the best, they've got a captive audience. You can sometimes

:15:24.:15:27.

buy it cheaper online, or at your local premises to get it as well.

:15:28.:15:31.

It's just a case of shopping around to get the best deal. There are

:15:32.:15:34.

things like prepaid cards which means that you can purchase those in

:15:35.:15:39.

advance, and know that there is no hidden costs. So, as with most

:15:40.:15:42.

things, travel related, it pays to plan ahead.

:15:43.:15:44.

Cancer is a shocking diagnosis for anyone to receive.

:15:45.:15:46.

But it's probably most unexpected when you're young.

:15:47.:15:48.

One student at Queen's University got that unwelcome news

:15:49.:15:51.

Since then, he's undergone the emotional turmoil of treatment.

:15:52.:15:57.

Despite it all - he's graduated top of the class.

:15:58.:16:01.

Time to move on. Can is racking up his student house with his

:16:02.:16:14.

girlfriend. The last few months have been top, but not because of the

:16:15.:16:18.

workload. His biggest hurdle has been dealing with a diagnosis of

:16:19.:16:24.

testicular cancer. It was very clear to me that I needed to go get

:16:25.:16:26.

something checked out, so my testicle had started to expand to a

:16:27.:16:32.

size where I thought something is terribly wrong. The 21-year-old from

:16:33.:16:36.

Birmingham studied international politics at Queens. He is leaving

:16:37.:16:40.

with a first-class degree, despite months of attending appointments and

:16:41.:16:44.

time off for treatment. Chemotherapy was an interesting... Interesting

:16:45.:16:48.

for me, I was very fortunate and very grateful that I only spend a

:16:49.:16:54.

very short amount of time in hospital, compared to a lot of other

:16:55.:16:57.

patients with MS in there. It was a difficult time, and you don't get a

:16:58.:17:02.

lot of sleep. You're constantly concerned when you're hooked up to a

:17:03.:17:07.

machine that something could go wrong. Testicular cancer is

:17:08.:17:10.

relatively rare, occurring mostly in young men. Most of those who are

:17:11.:17:13.

diagnosed can be successfully treated, but the surgery required

:17:14.:17:18.

meant even was forced to think about his future desires for children with

:17:19.:17:24.

his girlfriend Alicia. We have both had to go to strew strange moments,

:17:25.:17:32.

when she came to visit me in Birmingham, we went to expand the

:17:33.:17:36.

nation because one of the side-effects of June 30 is

:17:37.:17:41.

infidelity. It was just a difficult conversation, we will not really

:17:42.:17:45.

thinking long-term things such as get a and having the thing about our

:17:46.:17:50.

lives... Into our 30s and into our 40s, and make decisions at this

:17:51.:17:54.

point about that. That future is looking bright. Ethan has been given

:17:55.:17:58.

the all clear, and he says of the young men shouldn't ignore problems

:17:59.:18:02.

with their genitals because of embarrassment. It's better to have a

:18:03.:18:07.

definitive answer than live in a world of possibility and

:18:08.:18:10.

speculation. You know, your health, at the end of the day, is of... I

:18:11.:18:19.

have been reminded a lot of the caring nature of family and friends.

:18:20.:18:23.

Ethan is heading back to Birmingham for a new chapter in his journey and

:18:24.:18:28.

is determined to value the moment. -- every moment.

:18:29.:18:30.

Now sport - and Day one at the Open at Royal Troon and Stephen Watson

:18:31.:18:34.

Stephen. Tara, Viceroy much. It's been a solid start to the open

:18:35.:18:46.

Championships for the world number four Rory McIlroy. He shot an

:18:47.:18:51.

opening round of two under par, inside the top 20, but still six

:18:52.:18:55.

shots behind the current runaway leader of the former champion from

:18:56.:19:05.

America all medicine. Phil Mickelson. Also, after his round

:19:06.:19:15.

today, Michael Roy was criticised about comments he made earlier this

:19:16.:19:18.

week regarding the Olympic games but here's the

:19:19.:19:23.

story of Rowley, gave up the last time Rory McIlroy played in an open

:19:24.:19:28.

than he won it in 2014, before missing last year through injury,

:19:29.:19:30.

and he started today with much expectation. It didn't take the

:19:31.:19:36.

world number four Blair long defined as touch. This was for his second

:19:37.:19:42.

birdie at the sick. And another followed, at the next hole. At Phil

:19:43.:19:54.

Mickelson's most tricky points, he produced the shot of the day.

:19:55.:20:02.

Another birdie. He was showing form that has won him titles. This is his

:20:03.:20:07.
