legal challenges on an individual basis, and maybe even a challenge that goes to the european court, at which point, despite winning, it may be that rishi sunak and people like suella braverman and others will say, well, this also demonstrates why britain should leave the convention. mark easton, and home affairs chris pond. we have some reaction from steve barclay who has moved from the health brief, he is no longer secretary of state for health, he has moved to be environment secretary. he has said he is delighted to be appointed in that role and he will be working to back british farming and fishing, champion rural communities, protect the environment. as an mp for a rural area he says i know how important these issues aren't too many people up—and—down the country. as we said earlier david cameron has been getting down to work in his new role as foreign secretary. he met india's foreign minister sj schenker who was due to meetjames india's foreign minister sj schenker who was due to meet james cleverly until earlier today. we are joined by our diplomatic correspondent james landale to discuss that and the rest of the news of today in more detail. straight to work for mr cameron. , , ., cameron. these meetings are constantly _ cameron. these meetings are constantly scheduled -

constantly scheduled and if you get the job you start straightaway, but he will know him already, because he's been on the circuit for some time. sjaishankar has been in town for a while, the importance the uk government places on its relationship with india at the moment. straight to it. something is the new foreign secretary needs to do, he has to give and all staff address so he's done that, just all the staff in the foreign office, not just those present in the building in king charles street in central london but all the staff around the world. they have all looked in. the people i know who work for the foreign office around the world say he acquitted himself pretty well, he exuded a confidence that they haven't always had from all the previous incumbents in that role for some time. he seems to have struck the right notes. some things he won't do immediately, the previous foreign secretary james cleverly was due to give a long and detailed session of answering questions to mps tomorrow before the foreign affairs committee. that session has been postponed until another day. obviously mr cameron is fresh off his appointment and is not up to speed with all the events.- his appointment and is not up to speed with all the events. there are lots of important _ speed with all the events. there are lots of important relationships - speed with all the events. there are lots of important relationships mr i lots of important relationships mr cameron will have to continue to cultivate as foreign secretary. he mentioned his meeting with s jaishankar today. the uk is still trying to do a trade deal with india at the moment. it's been talked about for many months and has not been done. he about for many months and has not been done-— been done. he is in charge of relations _ been done. he is in charge of relations with _ been done. he is in charge of relations with these - been done. he is in charge of. relations with these countries, been done. he is in charge of- relations with these countries, he is not totally personally in charge of the trade deal negotiations. that is one part of the job he will be doing. if you think about it, david cameron has a huge amount of experience and knowledge that he brings to this role. but we have to remember he isn't up to speed with the immediate information. he has a huge amount of reading to do. there was a famous example ofjohn major when he was made foreign secretary by margaret thatcher many years ago. he had an entire summit to go to a friend because my house to go off and sit by the swimming pool and read foreign office briefings and came back ready for his newjob, only to discover margaret thatcher had had a row with her chancellor, sacked that chancellor and since john major to that role. so all that briefing came to nothing. that's the sort of reading david cameron will have to do to get up to speed on all of those issues where, if you think about it, he's been out of office for quite a while and he will need to be briefed as to exactly where negotiations are and where britain's relations are on every issue that will cross his desk. pym; relations are on every issue that will cross his desk.— will cross his desk. any reaction from his opposite _ will cross his desk. any reaction from his opposite number -

anything? not initially. equally, i because mr cameron will be loyal, his written statement was very loyal, not surprising. but equally you must remember david cameron is a former prime minister, he has heft, political weight, former prime minister, he has heft, politicalweight, he former prime minister, he has heft, political weight, he will want to shift and nudge agendas. for example, he might feel more comfortable and more confident than james cleverly in criticising israel. in the past when he was prime minister and mr cameron was willing, notjust as a very loyal supporter of israel, but also to be very candid and say, look, when he felt israel was being excessive, when he thought its military operations should be restrained and more attention focused on protecting civilians. it will be interesting what he says about that. china is interesting, because of his past association with a much more positive attempt to get what he called a golden era of warmer relations with china, lots of interest will be on what he says when he first talks about china. does he put it back in a box and say we have moved on and we are in a different world now? the third issue where there is some interest is in development aid. david cameron was a big supporter of development aid as prime minister. he was the man who legislated so we have 0.7% of britain's national income spent on it every year. that figure was cut to 0.5% by his new boss mr sunak. what does mr cameron say about that? what does mr cameron say about that? what does mr cameron say about that? what does he think about the current development aid policy? the first test of that will happen next week when the government publishes its new white paper on development aid. there are areas where potentially mr cameron could adopt slightly more nuanced positions but we will wait to see. ., , nuanced positions but we will wait to see. . , , . , to see. there have been differences in the ast to see. there have been differences in the past between _ to see. there have been differences in the past between rishi _ to see. there have been differences in the past between rishi sunak -

landale, our political correspondent, thank you for the update. throughout the day we have been getting reaction across the political spectrum on these latest changes at the top of government. let's listen to pat mcfadden, shadow cabinet secretary, and also will run labour's general election campaign. the prime minister promised change and one thing this reshuffle isn't is change. it will not change the fundamental problems of the country, it will not do anything to fix the cost of living or nhs waiting lists. the only way to get real change is to get rid of this failed tory government.— to get rid of this failed tory government. to get rid of this failed tory rovernment. , ~ a y , government. this kicked off this money because _ government. this kicked off this money because suella _ government. this kicked off this | money because suella braverman government. this kicked off this -

never have been appointed home secretary in the first place and was only there because of a deal done by rishi sunak with the right wing of his party to avoid a tory leadership contest. that meant someone who was unfit to be home secretary occupied that position, sowing division for the past year. she should never have been there in the first place. final ruestion, been there in the first place. final question, perhaps _ been there in the first place. final question, perhaps the _ been there in the first place. final question, perhaps the biggest surprise of the morning is david cameron being made foreign secretary. what do you make of that? one thing the return of david cameron does not signal is change. you can't fix the sunak is facing with personnel changes. you can only fix them with policy changes and the tory party can't do that. the only way to get real change is to get rid of the tory government, have a general election.— of the tory government, have a general election. you heard, the view from _ general election. you heard, the view from the _ general election. you heard, the view from the labour _ general election. you heard, the view from the labour party -

churn out the housing department. i think there have been eight or nine housing ministers since just the last election. it is kind of crazy in a brief that is really important. it has been seen as something that is quite overlooked, people are anxious about housing, people are worried about how they will get on to the housing ladder. it is seen as the next big scandal. why this constant rollover of housing ministers doesn't make sense. also some chatter that several other people were offered this job before lee rowley and perhaps for that reason, the challenges are described, many of them were not keen but finally they have filled the brief. i keen but finally they have filled the brief. ., ., keen but finally they have filled the brief. . ., ., , the brief. i have a note here is sa in: the brief. i have a note here is saying that — the brief. i have a note here is saying that lee _ the brief. i have a note here is saying that lee rowley -
