Andy Burnham has been sworn in as the new MP for Makerfield in the House of Commons. He had earlier confirmed to journalists he would stand to be the next prime minister in any process that was run following Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's resignation on Monday morning. Starmer said he would do all he could to ensure an “orderly” transition of power and that he had asked Labour’s governing body to set out a timetable to replace him. Also on the programme: - The former leader of the Democratic Unionist Party, Sir Jeffrey Donaldson, has been found guilty of a string of child sexual offences including rape. - Red heat-health alerts have been issued for parts of England and Wales, for only the second time ever in the UK. ------------------------------------------------ For more of the biggest news stories in the UK and around the world, visit the ITV News YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/2lOHmNj • Subscribe to ITV News In Full on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ITVNewsInFull •
