Heatwave conditions are particularly testing for dairy cows, and dairy farmers. Figures from the industry body, the AHDB, showed a 34 million litre reduction in milk arriving at British processors in June this year, compared to the same time last year, with the record temperatures the main cause. The UK is not alone, drops in milk production in Germany and France are bringing one small glimmer of hope. There are signs that the long slump in prices brought about by a global oversupply is starting to reverse.Andy Burnham moves into 10 Downing Street today, as he becomes the UK's 59th Prime Minister, the seventh in ten years. The relationship between Sir Keir Starmer's government and the farming community soured over Inheritance Tax, and England's stop-start sustainable farming incentive. Wildlife and landscape conservation groups were less than enamoured with a shift in emphasis away from protection and towards 'build baby build'. So what's the one thing they want the new Prime Minister to make his priority?The Royal Welsh Show begins today, and all week we're exploring how Welsh farming policy is evolving.Presenter: Charlotte Smith Producer: Sarah Swadling

Sir Keir Starmer has officially resigned, and Andy Burnham, the former mayor of Greater Manchester, has accepted the invitation of King Charles to form a government. Burnham spoke outside Downing Street, with no lectern, and no notes. BBC political correspondent Rob Watson spoke to John Campbell from London.

Andy Burnham's arrival at Number 10 Downing St is being seen as a big shift for Britain. The former Manchester Mayor and Labour cabinet minister has become the UK's seventh Prime Minister in a decade. He's replaced Sir Keir Starmer, who resigned after a collapse in public support. UK political commentator Adam Boulton told Mike Hosking Burnham's cabinet appointments so far bring a very different face to the British Government. He says that's largely due to the fact Burnham's a confident communicator compared to Starmer, who often appeared robotic. Burnham's pick for Chancellor has also come as a surprise, with former Defence Secretary John Healey chosen for the role. Boulton told Hosking what's surprising is that Healy resigned recently over wanting more defence spending, so the question is whether he'll live up to what he was demanding at the time.

A new era of British politics has arrived at Downing Street with Andy Burnham vowing to put people before politics. The former Manchester Mayor and Labour cabinet minister has become Britain's fifth leader in four years, replacing Sir Keir Starmer. He wants to make politics more about problem-solving than point-scoring – taking power out of government and putting it into the hands of the people. UK Correspondent Enda Brady told Mike Hosking the Labour Party will have to present a united front now, as they have a short window in which to convince the public they can continue to govern. He says Burnham needs to find some quick wins to make the public believe what he's telling them. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ben Wright is joined by the Labour backbencher Paul Waugh; Conservative former Cabinet minister, Sir John Whittingdale; and Hannah White - director of the Institute for Government. They discuss the imminent transfer of power from Sir Keir Starmer to Andy Burnham, potential Cabinet appointments, and the new Prime Minister's policy agenda. Rowena Mason - Whitehall editor of The Guardian - brings additional expert analysis and insight.

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniu an t-ochtú lá déag de mhí Iúil. Is mise Eoin Ó Seachnasaigh.I ndiaidh cúpla seachtain dhrámatúil i bpolaitíocht na Breataine, tá an Feisire Parlaiminte nuathofa do Makerfield, Andy Burnham,ar tí seilbh a ghlacadh ar Uimhir 10 Sráid Downing. Cé go bhfuair Burnham, a bheidh ina sheachtú Príomh-Aire ar an mBreatain le deich mbliana anuas, ainmniúcháin ó 322 de na 403 Feisire de chuid Pháirtí an Lucht Oibre, tá dúshláin go leor roimhe anois,agus gan ach trí bliana fágtha den téarma rialtais. Beidh na fadhbanna tromchúiseacha ba chúis le titim a réamhtheachtaí, Sir Keir Starmer, faoi chúram iar-Mhéara Mhanchain go luath, lena n-áirítear míshástacht an phobail leis an rialtas, na géarchéimeanna leanúnacha sa Mheánoirthear agus an brú atá ag teacht ó ghrúpaí éagsúla chun caiteachas cosanta a mhéadú gan cáin ioncaim a ardú. Ní hé Burnham an t-aon pholaiteoir mór le rá sa Bhreatain atá i gcruachás faoi láthair, áfach. Tá ceisteanna crua le freagairt ag a phríomh-iomaitheoir, Nigel Farage, ceannaire an pháirtí Reform UK, tar éis teacht chun solais gur ghlac Farage le cúig mhilliún punt ó bhilliúnaí criptea-airgeadra. I measc ábhair imní gur sciúradh airgid a bhí ar siúl, tá an síntiús á fhiosrú anois ag an National Crime Agency, agus idir an dá linn, tá Farage tar éis éirí as a phost mar Fheisire Parlaiminte do Clacton, agus é ag súil go léireodh fothoghchán úr tacaíocht an phobail dó féin agus don mhaíomh gur íospartach den chóras oifigiúil é. Mar fhreagra, tá sé fógartha ag Páirtí an LuchtOibre, na Coimeádaigh, na Glasaigh agus na Daonlathaithe Liobrálacha nach mbeidh siad ag seasamh san fhothoghchán, agus is cosúil gurb é cuairteoir ón spás amuigh, darb ainm Count Binface, a bheidh ina phríomh-iomaitheoir do Farage.Dea-scéala do lucht leanúna an cheoil Éireannaigh a nascann an traidisiún leis an turgnamh, tá Trá Pháidín ar ais le halbam nua, go gairid i ndiaidh An A24 ón mbliain seo caite. Tarraingíonn an t-albam nua, Cloch ‘s Claí, inspioráid ón úrscéal aoiriúil cáiliúil le Myles na gCopaleen, An Béal Bocht, agus pléann sé an gaol idir an Ghaeltacht agus an chuid eile d'Éirinn chomhaimseartha, agus béim ar leith á cur ar chúrsaí tithíochta, ar fhadhbannaeacnamaíocha agus ar cheisteanna féiniúlachta. Is é seo an chéad eisiúint ag an ngrúpa ar an lipéad World of Echo, atá lonnaithe i Londain, agus a dhíolann ceirníní ó cheoltóirí ceannródaíocha ar fud an domhain, agus mar thoradh air sin,tabharfaidh sé deis do lucht éisteachta idirnáisiúnta aithne a chur ar an dream as Conamara. Tar éis 102 cluiche agus breis agus mí a bhí lán de scileanna iontacha, botúin thubaisteacha, taispeántais laochúla, moilleanna de bharr VAR agus conspóid pholaitiúil, tá Corn an Domhain ag druidim chun deiridh. Cé gurb iad an Spáinn rogha na coitiantachta, tar éis dóibh an Fhrainc a shárú in Dallas oíche Dé Máirt, le cúil ó Mikel Oyarzabal agus Pedro Porro, beidh neart le déanamh acu chun an lámh in uachtar a fháil ar an Airgintín, atá ag filleadh ar an gcluiche ceannais mar seaimpíní gan chloí tar éis bua cáiliúil i gcoinne Shasana ag Staid Atlanta oíche Dé Céadaoin. Níos cóngaraí don bhaile, ar lá spóirt lán le haicsean, fillfidh Gaillimh ar Chluiche Ceannais Iomána na hÉireann den chéad uair ó 2018, agus iad ag tabhairt aghaidh ar fhoireann Luimnigh atá sa tóir ar a séú theideal in ocht mbliana. Beidh Gaillimh ag súil go mbeidh an tosaí Rory Burke i mbarr a réime arís tar éis an gortú a d'fhulaing sé i gcluiche ceannais Laighean, agus tá faoiseamh ar fhir na Mumhan go bhfuil a gcaptaen, Cian Lynch, réidh le himirt tar éis dó a bheith as láthair ón mbua ar Chontae an Chláir. *GLUAISréamhtheachtaí - predecessorspás amuigh - outer spaceturgnamh - experimentaoiriúil - satiricalrogha na coitiantachta - the favourite to win i mbarr a réime - at the top of his game

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniu an ceathrú lá de mhí Iúil. Is mise Barra Mac Giolla Aoláin.Bhí deireadh seachtaine iontach peile i bPáirc an Chrócaigh agus níl fágtha anois ach ceithre fhoireann i gCraobh na hÉireann. Dé Sathairn, bhuaigh Maigh Eo ar Chorcaigh tar éis cluiche den scoth.

Bhí cluiche deacair ag Baile Átha Cliath i gcoinne na Gaillimhe, ach d'éirigh leo an bua a fháil i ndiaidh dráma agus conspóide. Rinneadh an tarraingt oifigiúil Dé Domhnaigh agus mar sin, beidh Baile Átha Cliath ag imirt i gcoinne Ciarraí, agus Lú ag tabhairt aghaidh ar Mhaigh Eo sa bhabhta leathcheannais. Beidh na cluichí sin ar siúl an deireadh seachtaine seo chugainn.Tar éis do Sir Keir Starmer a fhógairt go mbeidh sé ag éirí as ról an Phríomh-aire, tá Feisire Makerfield Andy Burnham ar tí an post is mó i saol na polaitíochta sa Ríocht Aontaithe a bhaint amach i lár mhí Iúil.

Ina chéad óráid mhór maidir le polasaithe i Manchain an tseachtain seo, leag Burnham amach plean radacach chun an tír a athrú ó bhonn. Bunóidh sé an dara hoifig rialtais i Manchain chun cumhacht a tharraingt amach ó Londain. Dúirt sé go mbeidh plean fadtéarmach ann chun tithe sóisialta a thógáil agus printíseachtaí teicniúla a chur ar comhchéim le céimeanna ollscoile. Gheall sé go gcloífidh sé le rialacha Pháirtí an Lucht Oibre chun na margaí a chur ar a suaimhneas agus cobhsaíocht eacnamaíoch a chinntiú.

Drones in, destroyers out. The Royal Navy looks set to be the biggest losers when the Defence Investment Plan is finally published. Instead of building a new fleet of state-of-the-art warships, we will have to rely on cheaper ‘common combat vessels' to serve as hubs for a hybrid response to the threat from Russia. How will the change in military spending be received when Sir Keir Starmer makes his international swansong as prime minister at the NATO summit? And could he really be the next NATO secretary general, despite a mixed record on defence readiness? Mhari Aurora speaks to Sky's security and defence editor Deborah Haynes.
