Andy Burnham has entered 10 Downing Street as the United Kingdom’s new prime minister, according to the Guardian’s Tuesday briefing. On what the paper described as a day of ceremony and celebration, Burnham pledged that his government would serve as “a circuit breaker for Britain”.

The Guardian reported that a defining characteristic of Burnham’s team so far has been what it called a concentrated silence at its heart. That vacuum, the paper said, had been filled by increasingly frenzied speculation in recent days over his cabinet picks and policy priorities.

As those details began to emerge on Monday, Burnham’s first instruction as prime minister was to end rough sleeping, according to the Guardian. He also made what the paper described as a surprise choice of chancellor, though the newsletter did not name the appointee.

The Guardian’s briefing described its journalists taking readers through what it was like to cover the early hours of Burnham’s premiership, with editors and correspondents at the paper’s London head office assessing what the first moves might reveal for the country.

The same briefing rounded up other developments in the news. In UK news, a 28-year-old man from Rotherham has been charged with the murder of former MP and Reform UK party spokesperson Ann Widdecombe.

On technology, the Guardian reported that cases of predators coercing children into harming themselves or producing sexual images of themselves have surged globally over the past year, according to child safety experts and law enforcement officials.

On Iran, the briefing said nearly 100 US service members have been injured over the last two weeks of escalating strikes, according to the Pentagon, as Tehran launched reprisals during the tenth consecutive night of attacks.
