Boris johnson will be our new Prime Minister but, anyway, nothing has changed. The eu still sticks to its negotiating position with the backstop, the parliamentary arithmetic is still the same, the arguments over brexit have not changed, the only differences Boris Johnson is now in number ten and his belief seems to be almost by sheer force of will he can crack that logjam, he can corral and cajole mps into backing an agreement, he can reach out to labour leave ed husic mrs may never really managed to win over and at the same time, by going toe to toe, eyeball to eyeball with the eu over no deal, he can get them to blink and offer a better deal he can reach out to labour leave mps. He seems to feel he can bend brexit to his will by shepherds of the microphones of personality. Botia. Personality. It is either a grand act oran botia. Personality. It is either a grand act or an act of extreme folly, according to your view. Lets have a look at what this week in westminster brings. We have a new leader of the conservative party.

Borisjohnson has been chosen to lead the conservative party and become the countrys new Prime Minister. Hes won the support of almost two thirds of tory Party Members in a postal ballot, comfortably beating the foreign secretaryjeremy hunt. Hell formally take over from theresa may tomorrow after her last appearance at Prime Ministers questions. Our chief correspondent is there. Will he get goodwill . our chief correspondent is there. Will he get goodwill . I spoke to some of the mp5 to have not voted for borisjohnson, some of the mp5 to have not voted for Boris Johnson, even they had said we have to give him a good chance. He says he wants to get a new and better brexit you and your willing to help him do that. The problem comes if that fails and if he decides to pursue leaving the eu without a deal. That is when problems will start. We have had ministers saying they will resign. One of them of course, philip hammond, the chancellor, and others wilful. And note and say she could not serve under borisjohnson. Others will say they are leaving before they get sacked. The big question is the kneecap of the cabinet. Will they all pursue no deal as government policy or will it be wider and broader than that . Challenges to unify the party and beyond that unify the country. It is an incredibly daunting challenge although he said in his speech earlier that people should not be daunted by what is ahead. He talked about optimism and that is what his friends say he brings, looking to the future and being positive. Of course some doubt whether that will be enough with a tricky start. No real majority for the conservatives in the house of commons. The team may change, the Prime Minister may change but the numbers on pad parliament will not change unless of course that is a general election. Let us have a listen to what he said earlier. I know that there will be people around the place who will question the wisdom of your decision. And there may even be some people here who still wonder quite what they have done. I would just point out to you that of course nobody, no one party, no one person has a monopoly on wisdom. But if you look at the history of the last 200 years of this partys existence, you will see that it is we conservatives who have had the best insights i think into human nature. And the best insight into how to manage the jostling sense of instincts in the human heart. Time and again it is to us that the people of this country have turned to get that balance right, between the instincts to own your own house and your own home, to earn and spend your own money, to look after your family. Good instincts, proper instincts, noble instincts. And the equally noble instinct to share and give everyone a fair chance in life and to look after the poorest and neediest and to build a Great Society and on the whole in the last 200 in the last 200 years, it is we conservatives who have understood best ghow to encourage those instincts to Work Together in harmony to promote the good of the whole country. Today, at this Pivotal Moment in our history, we again have to reconcile two sets of noble instincts. Between the deep desire for friendship and featured a mutual support and security and defence between britain and her European Partners and the simultaneous desire, equally deep and heartfelt, for democratic Self Government in this country. Of course some people would say that they are irreconcilable. Itjust cant be done. Indeed i read in my Financial Times this morning, devoted reader that i am, seriously, it is a Great British band. I read in my Financial Times this morning there is no incoming leader who has ever faced such a daunting set of circumstances it said. But i look at you this morning on and say to do you look daunted . Do do you feel daunted . I dont think you look remotely daunted to me. I think we know that we can do it and the people of this Country Trust in us to do it and we knew that we will do it. We know the mantra of the campaign that has just gone by, in case you have forgotten it, you probably have. It is deliver brexit, unite the country and defeatjeremy corbyn and that is what we are going to do. Defeatjeremy corbyn. I know some wag has already pointed out that deliver, unite and defeat was not the perfect acronym for an Election Campaign since unfortunately it spells dud but they forgot the final e, my friends. E for energise. I say to all the doubters dude, we are going to energise the country. We are going to get brexit done on october the 31st and take advantage of all the opportunities that it will bring in a new spirit of can do. We are once again going to believe in ourselves and what we can achieve and like a slumbering giant, we will rise and paying off the guy rope of brexit doubt and negativity with better education, better infrastructure and, more police, full fibre fast broadband in every household and we will reunite this country and take it forward. I thank you very much for this incredible honour you had just done and i will work flat out with the team i will build in the next few days and i will repay your confidence but in the meantime the campaign is over and the work begins. Thank you all very much. So that was Boris Johnson a couple of hours ago. He now has to spend some time getting together his team. There will be a wide ranging cabinet reshuffle. Ministers and ex ministers and hopeful sitting by the telephone, wondering the will get the telephone coal from Boris Johnson. Probably among them jeremy hunt, the man he defeated, some of his allies the ship is kept as foreign secretary because it is a difficult time to move a foreign minister with the situation with iran at present. It is not entirely clear that he will but this is his reaction to the defeat. Obviously very disappointed for me and my team but i am also very proud of the campaign we ran. This was a lwa ys of the campaign we ran. This was always going to be uphill for us because i was always going to be uphill for us because i was someone always going to be uphill for us because i was someone devoted remain. Lots of conservative Party Members thought this was a moment when you had to have someone who voted for brexit in the referendum. In retrospect that was a hurdle we we re in retrospect that was a hurdle we were never able to overcome but i think, that being said, there was a lot of progress. I am delighted for the country that boris has become Prime Minister. I think he will be a great Prime Minister. We have optimism, enthusiasm, he puts a smile on the face of people and he has total, unsha keable smile on the face of people and he has total, unshakeable confidence in oui has total, unshakeable confidence in our amazing country and that is a quality we need. We have some challenges ahead but boris has got that confidence and i think he would doa that confidence and i think he would do a greatjob. That confidence and i think he would do a great job. People said from the start he was a shoe in for the job but he secured two thirds of the vote, did you everfeel with but he secured two thirds of the vote, did you ever feel with too much of an uphill struggle . vote, did you ever feel with too much of an uphill struggle . I never felt it was too much of an uphill struggle but i always knew it was going to be a big mountain to climb. We sensed quite a lot of movement coming out direction during the course of the hustings from young people, from people outside, the further you got from london and the south east, the warmer the response we we re south east, the warmer the response we were getting. We never knew when the baseline was. I think boris worked a very good campaign, a clear campaign, his messages were absolutely clear. As icy, see, una bea absolutely clear. As icy, see, una be a great Prime Minister. It is a challenging moment for our country. This is perhaps the most difficult legacy Prime Minister has inherited in recent times. It will be very challenging but he has confidence, optimism and energy to go through this and thats why i think you will bea this and thats why i think you will be a great Prime Minister. That really is the word everyone has been using, they talk about the challenges ahead, not a majority in the house of commons, their numbers in parliament have not changed, the still have to deal with this incredibly divisive issue of brexit but no details today how he proposes to do that, beyond the fact that he wa nts to to do that, beyond the fact that he wants to try and get a new deal but he will leave with a no deal at the end of october. It will be a difficult few months. One of his closest allies said to me just a couple of hours ago, how long can borisjohnson couple of hours ago, how long can Boris Johnson survive couple of hours ago, how long can borisjohnson survive as Prime Minister. A fascinating few days and weeks ahead of us. Thank you very much. Let us take a quick look at the reaction so far. And over in the us, President Donald Trump tweeted congratulations to Boris Johnson on becoming the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. He will be great also the recently elected head of the european commission, offered her congratulations. For first of all, congratulations. For first of all, congratulations to Boris Johnson to be nominated as Prime Minister and to have a good working relationship with him, there are many difficult issues to tackle together. We have challenging times ahead of us and it is important to build up a strong and good working relationship because we have a duty to deliver something which is good for people in europe and in the United Kingdom so in europe and in the United Kingdom solam in europe and in the United Kingdom so i am looking forward to working with in. Thank you. As the n takes over on november the 1st. You might see in the auditorium, stood johnsons father. Mrjohnsons father, stanley, was asked by reporters what his sons First Priority should be as new pm. Obviously he has to get brexit out of the way. Adult is notjust for christmas. This Prime Minister is not just for brexit. Christmas. This Prime Minister is notjust for brexit. At dog. We know he was a brexiteer, are you happy to see brexit happen . Whetherl am happy or not is almost irrelevant. That is the way the country voted and that is what is now going to be delivered. That is how we stand. Heidi feel about a no deal brexit . We are not ready for no deal. The issue now is for the European Parliament to realise they will confront a no deal and it will be worse for them then and it is for us. Worse for them then and it is for us. So from the irish backstop to discussions later, you cannot tell me we cannot solve the added backstop. What you things will boris bring to the uk, compared to theresa may . Does he have some magic power . Then a nice question. I think it is to do ina then a nice question. I think it is to do in a way with a sense of what is possible. I think, to do in a way with a sense of what is possible. Ithink, honestly, you could say brexit is not such a big deal. In may 1940, august 1940, this country related face challenge. Come on, if we handled august 1940 and the battle of britain, do not tell me we cannot handle brexit. Let us get a sense of proportion here. Thank you very much. Stanleyjohnson talking about his sons chances. In a moment well have all the business news, but first the headlines on bbc news. Borisjohnson has won the race to become the leader of the tory party. Choosing a new cabinet will be one of his first tasks. The uk is preparing for a heatwave as temperatures climb well above 30 degrees this week. Im here with the business news. Huawei has cut more than 600 jobs in the us at its Research Unit futurewei. The telecoms giant said the job cuts were due to the curtailment of Business Operations caused by the us. This is after washington put the chinese firm on a trade blacklist which restricts its ability to trade with us firms. Unions have called on employers to allow staff to work flexibly and have a relaxed dress code during this weeks uk heatwave. The tuc said people should be able to travel at different times or work from home and wear more casual clothing adding that it was in their interests to provide staff with a cool and comfortable work environment. Supermarket sales have fallen for the first time in three years but it was largely due to a record splurge by shoppers last year on traditional summer favourites like ice cream and alcohol especially during the mens football world cup. Sales over the last three months fell by 0. 5 compared to the same period last year. A new leader of the conservative party and from tomorrow a new Prime Minister. What does business hope for from Boris Johnson . In the past he has been less than flattering about the countrys business sector, famously copupling it with the f word. Of Small Businesses. Youve met him over the last week, how did he respond to the kinds of things you want . The First Priority has to tackle for first Small Businesses is to restore confidence and give them some leeway on the domestic front so the because they are struggling with at the moment can actually be addressed. So the thing is, business rates, Employment Costs a nd thing is, business rates, Employment Costs and infrastructure. Three things. Business rates, we know we have the one third allows for retail in the high street which need to be extended over to manufacturers. That need to be need permanent so businesses can invest and grow and produce bridges the gap in productivity. UnEmployment Costs, we need to see an increase in the employment allowance which would go some way towards reducing the cost businesses are being faced with but also give a holiday to those businesses so they are able to take on those hard to reach groups, those to find it hard to get into employment who will find Small Businesses will support them but also those who are ex offenders, ex forces, disabled, there is a lot of work that could be done there. Small businesses could give them that opportunity. Then of course infrastructure, broadband and mobile connectivity for businesses, not just household. So that is what you want, in his speech he mentioned that, perhaps that is something he wa nted that, perhaps that is something he wanted to do, did you get any impression that he was keen to spend money regarding the other tee . We got the clear impression he was pro business and understood the points we were making to give more support to Small Businesses to increase their confidence and get growth and investment going and hold back on the costs that businesses that enticed with at the moment. Very briefly, the impact brexit on all those things, but a no deal brexit, what would it mean . All those things, but a no deal brexit, what would it mean7m all those things, but a no deal brexit, what would it mean . It would make it very difficult for Small Businesses to deal with that but let us businesses to deal with that but let us not look at the negative side, let us look at the opportunities, letters get confidence restored and letters get confidence restored and let the politicians pick the impasse on exit and let the country get on and take the opportunities that are there, if we can support Small Businesses properly. Thank you very much indeed. In other business stories weve been following. Fever tree the company that makes tonics and drinks mixes has reported that sales growth is slipping largely due to bad weather in the first half of the year. Shareholders in fever tree are used to stellar growth and the fact that in the First Six Months sales grew 5 , and revenues rose 13 sent the shares down 12 . More people are flying in and out of heathrow 1. 8 in the first half of the year. Almost 39 Million People flew from heathrow in the First Six Months of the year, an increase on 1. 8 up on last year thats measured over the First Six Months of this year. The airport says it is shaping up for another strong year but there are some strikes on the horizon with unite announcing three two day strikes over pay during the holiday period. Youve heard about the northern powerhouse, well, councils of the cities of bristol, cardiff and newport have said they want a Great Western one as well.

Thank you very much indeed. Ben brown will be with you at the top of their to give you all the reaction to the election of borisjohnson as the next Prime Minister. Before that, time to look at the wonderful weather. Good afternoon. It is a lwa ys weather. Good afternoon. It is always a difficult balance, yes we wa nt always a difficult balance, yes we want sunshine because it is fun summer want sunshine because it is fun summer after all but i suspect and exudate will be too extreme for a lot of us. Thicker clouds in the north and west. The bigger sunshine withjust bodies and temperatures will peak in the mid 30s, cloudy skies in the north west. As we go through the night tonight, we could the some dramatic frequent thundery downpours developing from the south west. They will arrive during early evening. Some of these intense and they will spread north as we try to get a good nights sleep, perhaps culminating in the early hours of the morning across central scotland. Some of the showers will be very hit and miss but some could have dramatic lighting strikes through the night. A pretty u nco mforta ble lighting strikes through the night. A pretty uncomfortable night to get a decent nights sleep. Temperatures no lower than 21 degrees in the south. It will be a warm and humid start to wednesday. Early morning showers and the way through scotland and we will continue to see a good tries to. Winds swinging round to the south west. Those temperatures still 32 degrees. Set to get warmer still 32 degrees. Set to get warmer still into thursday. Temperatures likely to peak on thursday, coming all the wee up from africa, there could be record breaking heat across europe and south east of the uk. The potential for one europe and south east of the uk. The potentialfor one or europe and south east of the uk. The potential for one or two thundery downpours on thursday moving up from the irish sea. Extreme heat could be as high as 37 degrees which is just shy of 100 fahrenheit. A little bit fresher further north. Shy of 100 fahrenheit. A little bit fresherfurther north. So shy of 100 fahrenheit. A little bit fresher further north. So we could the 37 degrees and if that happens, it could be the hottestjuly day on record. It will alternative a much fresher and comfortable feel on friday so there is dire weather in the story to try weather in the story as well.
