viewed "as a discretionary spend by government and savings were achieved by hollowing out." is grant shapps just going to be a political appointee, whose primary task if you like will be to support the prime minister in cabinet? or is he going to really understand the needs of defence? grant shapps's replacement as energy secretary is claire coutinho, a long—standing ally of the prime minister. it is a huge promotion for her. are you ready to tackle the global energy crisis, miss coutinho? it really doesn't matter how many newjobs rishi sunak gives to his friends, it is still moving the deck chairs. they are still a sinking ship. this country really needs change. defence secretary is always a big job but claire coutinho faces the tricky business of delivering the government's climate promises with some tory mps sceptical about the implications. taking a step back, this was a safety first reshuffle. loyalty in the prime minister prized and, yes, limited in scale. chris mason, bbc

china relations... i think in some small area there is hope, he is using tiktok, and closer to rishi sunak... which means he might be looking into the wider picture beyond defence, and trying to factor in more about economic benefits with china. i think beijing will be very cool about it, not being excited, that it will not fundamentally change the current direction of uk china relations. speaking of the uk china relations, we had secretary cleverly visiting beijing this week. some senior conservatives have been critical to saying it is an approach of appeasement, while mr cleverley

men. our investigation suggests his fame is being used to sell a method of abuse to men around the world. a statement issued by his press officer said the bbc findings represent another brazen attempt to present one—sided unverified allegations against him. former brazilian presidentjair bolsonaro as well as his wife michelle, are accused of trying to illegally former brazilian presidentjair bolsonaro is being questioning by federal police. bolsonaro, as well as his wife michelle, are accused of trying to illegally keep and sell expensive jewelry given to them as official gifts by saudi arabia. police are investigating allegations that members of the former president's inner circle sold off official gifts for bolsonaro's "illicit enrichment." thursday's interrogation of bolsonaro is his sixth since leaving office at the end of 2022. police in norfolk in nebraska pulled over a car for having a huge bull standing in its passenger seat. the car had half of its roof cut off to fit the animal in. the man driving the car was given a warning by police, and was ordered to take the bull back home. luckily, no—one was injured. andrew pfeifer, who actually found the bull in the car and filmed the footage you saw on screen, says it was quite the sight to behold. i hopped in the car and i drove west for a solid 10, 15 minutes, watching the cars pass by — nothing, nothing. and sure enough, i kind of see this little black speck in the distance get closer and closer, and i'm like, that is a full—grown bull. and eventually i pulled a u—turn, pulled up beside him. and he wanted nothing to do with me, i could tell already. but i knew it wouldn't be long before he got pulled over, and that's exactly what happened. what an amazing story! i didn't believe it when my colleagues told me earlier! that's all for now — stay with bbc news. hello there. good morning. well, with the change of month, once again, we're likely to see a change of weather fortunes. high pressure is going to build as we head into the weekend and for the first week of september. yes, we'll see some early morning mist and fog first thing. but on the whole, for most of us, it will be dry, sunny and increasingly warm. ahead of that, though, we've still got to get rid of this messy looking weather front that's going to produce some low cloud and some drizzle first thing in the morning, particularly through northern ireland. scottish borders down into the north of england. now to the north of that, clear skies and a chilly start, but sunny start for scotland. to the south of that, a cloudy start, but the cloud will thin and break and a few scattered showers break out. one or two of those could be quite hefty. top temperatures generally between 17 and 22 celsius. now, as we move into the weekend, we are likely to see that frontal system easing away and the high pressure starts to build from the west. we could start off with a little bit of patchy low cloud mist and fog across central and eastern england. clearer skies further north here, single figures to start off our saturday so that mist will take its time to clear away. but on the whole, it's all about high pressure. a weak weather front will bring some breezier and wetter conditions to the north, but with lighter winds first thing in the morning, it could start off a little bit murky and disappointing. it won't be long, though, before we see some sunshine breaking through and the warmth starts to build. so as we go into saturday, yes, a great start for some more sunshine a grey start for some more sunshine further north and west. this weather front trying to push in, but really not making too much of an impression for the first half of the weekend. as we go through the afternoon, there'll be some decent sunny spells and temperatures will start to climb, 23 or 2a degrees. that's into the mid seventies fahrenheit. now, as we move out of saturday into sunday, there's that weather front bringing some breezier conditions and rain to the far northwest. but on the whole, sunday will be a dry day with plenty of sunshine coming through, and a degree or so warmer by the middle part of the afternoon. mid—twenties quite possible across central and southern parts of england. warmer still as we go through the week ahead. in fact, some places could see temperatures as into the high twenties by the middle part of the week. take care. but targeting the end user, many of them are not in education this is bbc news. we'll have the headlines and all the main news stories for you at the top of the hour as newsday continues, straight after hardtalk. welcome to hardtalk. i'm stephen sackur. whatever we call them — extreme right, far right or ultra nationalist — it's clear parties far to the right of the conservative mainstream are gaining ground across europe. perhaps most significant, and to many europeans, most alarming, is the rise of the md — alternative for deutschland — in germany. they're running second in national polls and winning local elections. my guest is peter boehringer, vice chairman of the md. is his party stirring sentiments that threaten german stability? peter boehringer in munich, welcome to hardtalk. good afternoon, stephen. good to hear you again.
