:01:39. > :01:40.ran for the top job, is promoted to

:01:41. > :01:43.Reaction's been coming in from around the world

:01:44. > :01:47.to the appointment of Mr Johnson as Britain's top diplomat.

:01:56. > :02:01.The new Prime Minister Theresa May has completed form and her new

:02:02. > :02:06.cabinets. This surprises keep on coming. There are some jobs for

:02:07. > :02:11.those who challenged her for the leadership but some big names have

:02:12. > :02:17.been booted out. There are jobs for Brexiteer 's and those who voted for

:02:18. > :02:21.Remain in that EU referendum. Former Justice Secretary Michael Gove who

:02:22. > :02:25.ran for the leadership has gone and been replaced by former Environment

:02:58. > :03:05.But the Prime Minister was cracking on. Arriving for perhaps her biggest

:03:06. > :03:09.job, getting her team right. It is not like they even get a job

:03:10. > :03:18.interview. They turn up to find out what they have got. Articles each

:03:19. > :03:24.chat in number ten? In her case she walked out as Secretary of State for

:03:25. > :03:28.Justice. Just didn't beginning, -- Justin Keeling walked in with one

:03:29. > :03:46.cabinet post and what about with another, -- Justine Greening what

:03:47. > :03:54.end with one cabinet post and what about with another. Imagine being

:03:55. > :04:02.Damian Green. He senior MP opening but not knowing if he is heading for

:04:03. > :04:12.the Cabinet. 30 minutes later in charge of Department for Work and

:04:13. > :04:17.Pensions. It has been a very busy first day

:04:18. > :04:25.for me here at the Foreign Office. It began with a speech to about 700

:04:26. > :04:30.of our staff. I set out what I think we need to be doing and focusing on.

:04:31. > :04:36.That is reshaping Britain's global profile and identity as a great

:04:37. > :04:40.global player. Who else is in? Philip Hammond as the Chancellor,

:04:41. > :04:46.essentially the number two. Amber Rudd is the new secretary.

:04:47. > :04:51.Eurosceptic Andrea Leadsom moves into the Cabinet in charge of brutal

:04:52. > :05:08.fears. After confusion over his role Jeremy Hunt stays at health.

:05:09. > :05:17.Today's losers did not have too faced the Downing Street walk of

:05:18. > :05:24.shame. Theresa May told some people fear services were not required.

:05:25. > :05:28.George Osborne, Chancellor for six years, is out. Michael Gove his

:05:29. > :05:32.controversial friend was also shown the door. Nicky Morgan who backed

:05:33. > :05:38.him to be the leader met the same feat. Oliver Letwin, one of David

:05:39. > :05:41.Cameron's thinkers, is out as well. And Stephen Clark, who also ran for

:05:42. > :05:42.a leader. This is more than the usual comings

:05:43. > :06:02.and goings. -- Stephen Crabb who also run for

:06:03. > :06:07.leader. There are some of the same faces and

:06:08. > :06:11.some of the same controversies and problems also. But the Government

:06:12. > :06:14.looks different, very different and under Theresa May what some

:06:15. > :06:18.ministers do will be different. There will not be a budget within

:06:19. > :06:22.weeks as George Osborne had claimed they would. We do not see any need

:06:23. > :06:26.for an emergency budget at the moment. I expect to become to

:06:27. > :06:31.statement in the usual we having spent the summer studying the effect

:06:32. > :06:36.on the economy so far, looking at our plan for the future, consulting

:06:37. > :06:39.with the experts, starting with the Governor of the Bank of England this

:06:40. > :06:44.morning. Remember these changes are all within the same political party.

:06:45. > :06:50.The same side is still in charge. But the new Prime Minister wants a

:06:51. > :06:54.clean break, maybe clearing all the resentments and Rogers also. Do not

:06:55. > :07:03.forget, these jobs really do matter. Politics is personal to.

:07:04. > :07:07.The new Conservative Government has not been entirely welcomed renewed.

:07:08. > :07:12.The President of the European Parliament said its composition was

:07:13. > :07:16.an attempt to keep the Tory party together rather than focus on the

:07:17. > :07:19.future of the country. There was criticism of the new Foreign

:07:20. > :07:25.Secretary Boris Johnson who is accused by his French counterpart of

:07:26. > :07:25.lying are a lot during the referendum campaign.

:07:26. > :07:45.A deputy editor has more. It was not just as he was surprised.

:07:46. > :07:50.Boris Johnson has been put in charge of quiet British diplomacy after a

:07:51. > :07:57.career strewn with colourful outbursts. Reaction has been mixed

:07:58. > :08:01.around the world. On Twitter the former Swedish leader thought it was

:08:02. > :08:07.a joke. The former Belgian Prime Minister thought so also. Australia

:08:08. > :08:12.sent good wishes but others in France and Germany were less

:08:13. > :08:16.friendly. The President of the European Parliament has described

:08:17. > :08:19.the Cabinet reshuffle which meet Boris Johnson Foreign Secretary as

:08:20. > :08:26.part of the dangerously vicious cycle since the votes to quit the

:08:27. > :08:29.EU. Criticism from the French Foreign Minister, he said in an

:08:30. > :08:36.interview the new Foreign Secretary had told a lot of lies about EU.

:08:37. > :08:43.After a vote like the referendum result on June 23 at this inevitable

:08:44. > :08:45.there will be plaster coming off the ceiling in the chancelleries of

:08:46. > :08:50.Europe. It was not the result they were expecting and clearly they are

:08:51. > :08:57.making their views known in a frank and 3-way. The gentleman that you

:08:58. > :09:02.mentioned, the French Foreign Minister said the eight charming

:09:03. > :09:10.letter just couple of hours ago. -- need there are views known in a

:09:11. > :09:15.frank and free way. They have just made him Foreign Secretary. In

:09:16. > :09:22.America they ignore about Boris Johnson's Way with words. He can

:09:23. > :09:28.appeared at Hillary Clinton to a sadistic nurse.

:09:29. > :09:36.He wrote about ancestral dislike of the British Empire.

:09:37. > :09:43.In Washington State Department spokesman's face spoke volumes. It

:09:44. > :09:49.has been announced as Boris Johnson. That is better. We are always good

:09:50. > :09:54.to be able to work with the British and matter who is occupying the rule

:09:55. > :09:57.of Foreign Secretary. Boris Johnson addressed his new staff to deal

:09:58. > :10:00.looking the part. That is what the policy is about sometimes.

:10:01. > :10:04.Colleagues say he has the talent and blamed for the job but he will have

:10:05. > :10:06.to get used to being a little less interesting.

:10:07. > :10:09.Well, it's fair to say there's been less than positive reaction in some

:10:10. > :10:12.parts of Europe to that decision to make Boris Johnson

:10:13. > :10:15.To talk about it let's go to Brussels and our

:10:16. > :10:27.A lot of dismay and anger about his appointment in Brussels. Do you

:10:28. > :10:31.think when he gets down to business those feelings might subside?

:10:32. > :10:39.With all these things there is going to be an element of reality. Once he

:10:40. > :10:44.comes here on Monday he is sitting in a room with the other 27 EU

:10:45. > :10:49.Foreign Minister 's and the US Secretary of State, John Kerry,

:10:50. > :10:51.there will have to beat some kind of cordial and constructive

:10:52. > :10:56.relationship. But throughout the course of today across the continent

:10:57. > :11:00.and in Brussels there has been a lot of supplies and scepticism. Boris

:11:01. > :11:05.Johnson will have his work cut out to try to construct that

:11:06. > :11:12.relationship. That is key. It is a sentiment echoed by the outgoing UK

:11:13. > :11:18.EU Commissioner, Lord Hill, he said the British Government cannot cut

:11:19. > :11:21.off its nose to spite its face in these negotiations.

:11:22. > :11:27.Ministers might not have long to wait to see Boris Johnson. We need

:11:28. > :11:34.to see if his belief will clash with the Brexit minister that Theresa May

:11:35. > :11:37.has installed, David Davis. Negotiators over there will want to

:11:38. > :11:46.know who they are dealing with in terms of British except stop.

:11:47. > :11:52.His deadly job title suggests David Davis will be the main player in

:11:53. > :11:59.negotiations but clearly there are other big issues on the table.

:12:00. > :12:04.Syria, Libya. It is hard to think Boris Johnson will come to Brussels

:12:05. > :12:08.and not discuss the Brexit 's negotiation is a winner that will

:12:09. > :12:15.take place in eight more informal sense, of course that European Union

:12:16. > :12:19.is insisting that no formal negotiations will happen until the

:12:20. > :12:25.British Government invoked article 50. Then there will be a two-year

:12:26. > :12:28.timescale and in our time since that is in favour of the rest of the

:12:29. > :12:33.European Union because it puts the pressure on the Europe -- pressure

:12:34. > :12:41.on the British Government to get a good deal by the end of those two

:12:42. > :12:45.years and that will be in testing. Looking at the reverberations of

:12:46. > :12:48.Boris Johnson entering their world stage of politics.

:12:49. > :12:51.Now a look at some of the day's other news.

:12:52. > :12:53.A station master in southern Italy has admitted he allowed a train

:12:54. > :12:56.to go on a single track minutes before it collided head

:12:57. > :13:00.He and another station master have both been suspended as part

:13:01. > :13:01.of an investigation into multiple manslaughter.

:13:02. > :13:03.23 people died in the crash earlier this week.

:13:04. > :13:06.The rail line relies on an old phone alert system dating

:13:07. > :13:10.The European Union has expanded its investigation

:13:11. > :13:12.into whether Google is breaking EU competition rules.

:13:13. > :13:16.It now includes the company's advertising business.

:13:17. > :13:18.It alleges that adverts provided by Google are given unfair

:13:19. > :13:21.prominence by the internet giant to the detriment of its competitors.

:13:22. > :13:30.Google says it will respond to the complaint in the coming weeks.

:13:31. > :13:33.The United Nations says dozens of summary executions in Eastern

:13:34. > :13:36.The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights says some

:13:37. > :13:39.of the cases could amount to war crimes.

:13:40. > :13:42.It's looked into the disappearances and deaths of at least 47

:13:43. > :13:47.people in areas held by Russian-backed separatists.

:13:48. > :13:51.The report also lists 29 cases in government-controlled territory.

:13:52. > :13:53.Overall the UN says, there's a culture of pervasive

:13:54. > :13:57.Joining me from Kiev is Fiona Frazer.

:13:58. > :14:06.She's in charge of the team that wrote the report.

:14:07. > :14:12.It is very hard to gather information in an ongoing war zone

:14:13. > :14:18.like this but in a protracted conflict like you clean the wheels

:14:19. > :14:25.of international justice will need to move swiftly.

:14:26. > :14:31.We have been documenting with the European human rights office since

:14:32. > :14:37.March 2014, documenting cases where we have seen the arbitrary loss of

:14:38. > :14:46.life through abductions, cases of torture, and so forth. This report

:14:47. > :14:49.looks at killings and the deaths of individuals as a result of

:14:50. > :15:02.hostilities but it also looks at cases that stem from 2013 and 2014

:15:03. > :15:08.as well as the violence in deaths on the 2nd of May. It is looking at the

:15:09. > :15:14.past two years, the increase in the number of deaths arbitrarily and

:15:15. > :15:18.through other acts and we feel there needs to be more accountability, for

:15:19. > :15:22.people to be held responsible, for perpetrators to be held to account,

:15:23. > :15:27.and for victims to feel they are able to obtain justice.

:15:28. > :15:32.The line is dodgy but they will persist and see if it gets better.

:15:33. > :15:35.Give as a sense of who you team gathers information. Difficult to

:15:36. > :15:43.get there on the ground and see what is actually happening.

:15:44. > :15:47.In Eastern Ukraine in a conflict area the UN office works on both

:15:48. > :15:54.sides of the contact line. We are present there working daily, working

:15:55. > :15:58.with individuals, speaking to them. I will be view there. The line has

:15:59. > :16:05.deteriorated too much to understand what you are saying but thank you

:16:06. > :16:08.for joining us. And that is the person that wrote

:16:09. > :16:15.the report onto serious allegations of what is happening there.

:16:16. > :16:22.The Hang deviant Government has rejected accusations of using

:16:23. > :16:28.excessive force to expel migrants. -- the Government of Hungary has

:16:29. > :16:33.rejected accusations. The toughening up of what were

:16:34. > :16:41.already strict controls has led to a rise in the numbers stack in camps

:16:42. > :16:48.on the Serbian side. He entrusts the leader of the

:16:49. > :16:56.migrantss with a list of which provokes a polite scrum.

:16:57. > :17:01.The document gives the names of 15 migrants who will be allowed to

:17:02. > :17:06.cross into Hungary that day. This is one of the most nervous times of day

:17:07. > :17:11.at the camp. Families want to get a close look at the lists provided by

:17:12. > :17:17.Hungary. They want to see if they have moved up the line and are

:17:18. > :17:24.closer to getting out of here. The 15 on the list do not have much

:17:25. > :17:27.time to pack or say goodbye. This person who is from Afghanistan

:17:28. > :17:36.is taking her four-year-old son with her.

:17:37. > :17:45.We are so happy. After one month staying here and now we are going.

:17:46. > :17:51.You are happy as well. Yes. This turnstile as their front door into

:17:52. > :17:56.Hungary. They are called in one by one, they step into the European

:17:57. > :18:00.Union. Trying to breakthrough is much more

:18:01. > :18:03.dangerous. Aid workers say that Hungary has been brutal in its

:18:04. > :18:09.treatment of migrants who cut through the border fence.

:18:10. > :18:16.Testimonies from refugees in the last couple of weeks, and medical

:18:17. > :18:20.evidence, to show that there has been in some weak use of excessive

:18:21. > :18:26.force on the refugees. I Hungary? Yes. This person from

:18:27. > :18:30.Afghanistan does not want to show his face. He got through the fence

:18:31. > :18:39.twice and says he was pushed back with boards each time. They took me

:18:40. > :18:48.to the border. At the border? Yes and they opened the door and pushed

:18:49. > :18:54.me inside. They said to me, go to Serbia. Hungary insists that it

:18:55. > :18:59.simply escorts migrants back across the border. More people end up

:19:00. > :19:05.meeting at this camp hoping to get a place on the daily list. The door to

:19:06. > :19:09.Central Europe only opens a bit at a time.

:19:10. > :19:11.US media are reporting that the presumptive Republican

:19:12. > :19:13.presidential candidate, Donald Trump, has decided on his

:19:14. > :19:22.The New York Times says his advisers are signalling that it will be

:19:23. > :19:27.the governor of Indiana, Mike Pence.

:19:28. > :19:30.The BBC has no independent confirmation.

:19:31. > :19:33.The decision is due to be announced in New York on Friday just before

:19:34. > :19:40.next week's Republican Party convention.

:19:41. > :19:47.This is American media saying this. How certain are they?

:19:48. > :19:56.They seem to be increasingly certain. Several wire services are

:19:57. > :20:01.saying that Donald Trump has told Republican leaders, Republican

:20:02. > :20:09.insiders, at Mike Pence is the choice. We will not know for certain

:20:10. > :20:15.until Donald Trump stands next to the man tomorrow at the unveiling

:20:16. > :20:19.and Manhattan but I think we can be fairly confident that is the

:20:20. > :20:24.direction it is heading. Who is Mike Pence and how will he

:20:25. > :20:29.help Donald Trump get to the White House?

:20:30. > :20:32.He is the governor of Indiana, a Midwestern state, a key electoral

:20:33. > :20:37.battle ground. Prior to that he was a senior member of the House of

:20:38. > :20:42.representatives in the US Congress. He was also one of the Conservative

:20:43. > :20:47.leaders in the US Congress. He was one of the true believers in what is

:20:48. > :20:52.considered a movement of conservatives, rigid conservative

:20:53. > :21:00.orthodoxy. For Donald Trump it shows up his conservative base. He hopes

:21:01. > :21:05.it can make conservative voters and tea party voters who may have doubts

:21:06. > :21:12.about Donald Trump more comfortably with him. It is a move to shore up

:21:13. > :21:16.the base, not try to broaden his appeal to women or minorities. But

:21:17. > :21:20.it is a solid choice, he has got experience. Donald Trump does not

:21:21. > :21:24.have elected office experience of this is a way of having somebody on

:21:25. > :21:28.his team who knows the ropes in Washington.

:21:29. > :21:31.These annexes are usually made before the convention. Who is

:21:32. > :21:35.Hillary Clinton likely to announce going into her Democratic

:21:36. > :21:39.convention? She is about to take the stage with

:21:40. > :21:44.a senator from Virginia. Prior to that he was governor of Virginia. He

:21:45. > :21:52.is probably odds-on favourite. He is a safe choice from a key swing

:21:53. > :21:55.state. There are other options. The secretary of health and human

:21:56. > :22:00.services is considered a choice that might expand her appeal.

:22:01. > :22:10.And the Senator from Massachusetts, a liberal firebrand, that would be

:22:11. > :22:16.like the choice of Mike Pence, to solidify the base, generate

:22:17. > :22:20.enthusiasm within the party. Thank you. Interesting stuff. Almost

:22:21. > :22:26.as interesting as what is happening in British politics right now.

:22:27. > :22:28.David Bowie's private art collection is going on display in London.

:22:29. > :22:30.Nearly 300 works which hung in the musician's

:22:31. > :22:33.multiple homes are going on display in London before being sold

:22:34. > :22:36.The collection includes works by Damien Hirst and Henry Moore.

:22:37. > :22:38.It's valued at more than $18 million.

:22:39. > :22:48.It is a collection which reveals the tastes and personal passions

:22:49. > :22:57.David Bowie loved this spin painting by Damien Hirst.

:22:58. > :23:03.He really valued Damien Hirst's glamorous freakiness.

:23:04. > :23:06.David Bowie was a fan of Frank Auerbach, and other modern

:23:07. > :23:09.and contemporary British artists such as Peter Lanyon,

:23:10. > :23:13.but as well as large works like this graffiti-style painting

:23:14. > :23:17.by Jean-Michel Basquiat, he purchased more-modest pictures

:23:18. > :23:23.like this by Harold Gilman, and they hung on the walls of his homes.

:23:24. > :23:27.It is mostly emotional and art that somehow depicts the world,

:23:28. > :23:35.and it does so from a bohemian, romantic point of view.

:23:36. > :23:38.While the world knows all about his music, much less

:23:39. > :23:42.is known about David Bowie's life as an art collector.

:23:43. > :23:44.It was something he kept almost entirely hidden from public view,

:23:45. > :24:04.The only thing I buy addictively and obsessively is art.

:24:05. > :24:08.With his sketchbooks spread out in front of him,

:24:09. > :24:11.the artist John Virtue then uses them to create his large

:24:12. > :24:17.I got a phone call, "Hi, it's David, I am in St Ives,

:24:18. > :24:28.Two hours later, he and a man arrived in the car park,
