We're in a transition as Andy Burnham becomes Labour leader three days before he becomes Prime Minister.

In Ukraine, Beth Rigby asks the outgoing PM, Keir Starmer, about why he chose to see President Zelenskyy on his final foreign trip.

Ruth Davidson and Harriet Harman hold the Electoral Dysfunction fort back home.

They weigh up whether Burnham should favour ability over popularity in his new cabinet - and consider how the polls are going for Burnham's own approval rating as he prepares to enter Number 10, with the help of Sky News' election analyst Rob Ford.
