the labor party say they will be jumping up and the remainers in the labor party say they will bejumping up and down, saying that we need to kill brexit altogether —— labour. saying that we need to kill brexit altogether -- labour. if we look at the observer, we see "a bid to stitch up a brexit deal." even if the leadership's announced —— the leaderships announced they had come together. there seems to be no mood together. there seems to be no mood to agree to anything. it assumes if they keep on bickering, somehow the problem will go away. i'm surmising that what their motivation is for theirs. but do they not see that the results of the local government elections this week indicate a mass discontent with our two main parties and that if they don't shape up and look as if they are — deserve these really rather high—paying jobs look as if they are — deserve these really rather high—paying jobs — people will decide at a general election that they would rather have somebody else. the timing of all this, we look at the telegraph, we have nigel verizon the front page "don't

what is fascinating about the election is that the labor party, despite the fact that it lost, ran a comprehensive policy programme for the future. the conservatives ran because they have deduced it works politically, a fear—based campaign about labor as an alternative manager of the economy. so i'm somewhat skeptical of where the policy agenda of this government will go. the challenge for australia is the driest continent on earth and the world in what we have seen recently on the future of biodiversity in the un. what will the re—elected government now do on climate change and our obligations under the paris treaty. right. this conservative government has been as bad as president trump on this question. that was kevin rudd there speaking to mea that was kevin rudd there speaking to me a little earlier. you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme: bollywood star radhika speaks to the bbc — about film censorship in india. this morning an indian air force plane carrying mr gandhi's body landed in delhi. the president of india walked to the plane to solemnl

the labor party are miles ahead of the coalition. the united states and canada have dropped aluminium and steel tariffs that were imposed just under a year ago. it follows lengthy negotiations and a telephone call on friday between president trump and the canadian prime minister, justin trudeau. it could pave the way for the ratification of a new north american trade agreement. david willis reports. crowd chanting: usa, usa, usa! president trump broke the news that he was lifting tariffs on metal imports from neighbours, mexico and canada, in a speech in washington, dc. we have just reached an agreement with canada and mexico and we'll be selling our product into those countries without the imposition of tariffs or major tariffs. big difference. president trump imposed tariffs on steel and aluminium imports last march, pitting the us against all its major trading partners, including the european union. lifting them in regards to mexico and canada is expected to pave the way to the ratification of the united states, mexico, canada agr

well, obviously it's disappointing for the australian labor party and it's also disappointing for the future of progressive politics in my own country, australia, as well. and i think one of the things missing from the national and global commentary on this most recent australian election is the overwhelming force of the murdoch media's campaign against the labor party in australia. this is notjust the london son, notjust fox news in america —— sun. mr murdoch control 70% of the print readership in australia. for the last six years, his empire in australia have run an ideological campaign against the labor party, fully supported at the same time by successive conservative governments, making it difficult for the australian labor party to punch a message through. media aside, mr rudd, we know there have been no rule changes in terms of policies, rule changes in terms of policies, rule changes in terms of policies, rule changes within the party. that means whoever wins, of course scott morrison looks like he is slated to, he will be the first leader since 2007 to survey full—time.

party and chose parties so that was a big blow for the 2 main parties for labor and tory and we're thinking that the european elections are going to be some kind of mini referendum a protest vote that we are going to see there's a new party on the horizon here in great britain the brics a party under the leadership of nigel farrar she was the architect of the leaf referendum they can painting extremely successful throughout the country we're seeing crowded rooms when nigel frosh takes the stage and they are polling highest at the moment in those european elections followed by the labor party the liberal democrats and then in false place only teresa mayes conservatives and of course that would be a tremendous blow for the conservative party and so after the european elections there will be pressure on may if if they. really resist that many votes of course it will be more pressure for her to resign and make it even more difficult than for her to put that deal and front of parliament again and and get the votes this time to force time around some real question about her choice of timing right

but it is the labor party with bill shorten as leader. in the final days of the campaign, the opposition has got ahead with a narrow lead in the opinion polls. we say the narrow lead, the feverish atmosphere of a national election like this, probably too close to call. so it is all the seats in a 151 seat house of representatives up forgrabs, and 151 seat house of representatives up for grabs, and half the upper house, the senate, as well. under the australian voting system you get a piece of paper literally as long as your arm piece of paper literally as long as yourarm and a piece of paper literally as long as your arm and a bit, if you are voting in the senate. that is the way the voting is going in australia. full details of that in the next ten or 12 hours or so, we should have some guide as to how thatis should have some guide as to how that is going. tanks were watching bbc news. there hello. much of this week has been gloriously sunny, dry and reasonably warm. things turned a bit cloudier and cooler. this was a picture taken by on

andrew was bill shorten the resignation as the leader of the labor party a surprise. to be absolutely honest i'm not sure he had any choice this was his 2nd election defeat he lost against the then prime minister malcolm turnbull 3 years ago but then he was celebrating because he was expected to lose that election by a wide margin yes he came very close to winning you know he just missed out and that both him essentially the next 3 years and people really have high expectations he would win this election that's all about expectations he exceeded them 3 years ago he massively missed out on expectations this time around so you really have very little choice but to resign also one thing as well about scott morrison the instability in the leadership of his liberal rights a sense of party has really been something that most australians seemed to be fed up with tony abbott's 1st one an election for the rights of center party back in 20 the same he was overthrown by malcolm turnbull who was in turn overthrown and replied to stop morris 9 months ago it was thought that the re

and the opposition labor party so far they've been stalling they've made progress and and at the moment they are looking at looks like the tories are actually coming around to the idea of a customs union a customs arrangement with which would be something that labor could get behind so they are hoping that with that they would get the withdrawal agreement find these through parliament here and get this grex it moving and leave the european union once and for all so this was clearly a lesson learned for the parties today and the hope is that something will happen now in the brics that saga. britain goes back to the polls in three weeks for the european elections despite having voted to leave europe and the only three years ago what can we expect. well it's going to be a protest vote new mini referendum there are actually two new parties that are going to be on the ballot that is first of all the change u.k. party it's a pro european party that wants to stay in the european union that is demanding a second referendum but there's also a new party on the horizon the anti e.u. party the new

party stance on bragg's that labor has done also particularly poorly here will this put more pressure on jeremy corbyn to back another referendum. yes because we have just heard to tom watson 101 of the vice leaders of the labor party really call for didn't say now we finally have to learn the lesson he all the time said we have to be clear we have to just say to people what we stand for and carbon couldn't decide and he sort of turned this way and that way and was completely ambiguous throughout and now the calls are getting louder of course bot. the point is that political so much capital has been squandered how can they make good on that it is hardly conceivable how can they now all of a sudden change check again and tell people ok now we've made up our minds after the european election so badly and now we tell you we're going to promise you a 2nd referendum who's going to believe them it is more or less ridiculous so they have really sort of wasted their relatively strong position after the last national elections and you can't really see them recover from that very quickly all ri

the labor party as well if they do not deliver for exit in a meaningful form that actually is a box that we won't contest the next general election and that m.p.'s of both parties are in dire trouble assuming the polls are right the brics that party will win at least a 3rd of the votes in the european election plus a further people in this country who actively want to leave the european union with no plan and no deal they are determined and they are organized and their opponents are in some disarray with the conservatives and labor at war with themselves and each other it has fallen so far you've other passes to try to fight off brick says he has a new one called change u.k. currently polling in single digits. and here's another resurgent centrist liberal democrats on around 15 percent nowhere near as high as the bricks at policy so why don't they all stand together and if they don't which one should people vote for. the fear is doing i would be much happier if there were 9 concert working together on a common thread from it didn't happen i'm not blaming anybody it's just the way it

well that's putting pressure on say the labor party to back remain and it means at the moment there is no clear way through. those. in paris we were looking at the situation in britain manu over strong euro skeptic party they're taking a leave the same situation in france we have a marine le pen they're out in front what kind of pressure is there going to be there now domestically on president my craw. well you know man micro has been under pressure for quite some time now 6 months ago we had the yellow vest crisis we touched which had just started but even the way the 4 when he started his mandate he was elected by 60 percent of the french people who chose him but not tornados so i voted against the far right but let's not forget that the part that time defied toys chosen by 40 percent of the french people so the results they're having at this time around the east at 23.3 percent the national over just installs them most steady within the political landscape here in france and so we saw that vote here as more of a referendum against emanuel micros you know policies and he will have

for this opposition labor party says the prime minister should not bother putting her new cracks a plan to a 4th vote in parliament theresa may is offering him peace a chance to vote on whether to hold a 2nd or exit referendum to set out her latest plan for britain's departure from the e.u. telling politicians they have one last chance to deliver. m.p.'s have already rejected her withdrawal a clean up with the european union 3 times i've also listened carefully to those who've been arguing for a 2nd referendum i've made my own view on this clear on many many times i do not believe this is a route that we should take because i think we should be implementing the result of the 1st referendum not asking the british people to vote in a 2nd one but i recognise the genuine and sincere strength of feeling across the house on this important issue the government will therefore include in the withdrawal agreement bill introduction a requirement to vote on whether to hold a 2nd referendum and this must take place before the withdrawal agreement can be rushed outside lawrence lee has more from lond

party. put a huge strain on this right wing alliance if the government folds new elections could follow this time without. earlier we spoke to. one of the outlets which broke this story we asked him whether his magazine had been expecting to resign. it might be possible cause some of the things we talked about are really wary. well for austrian viewers obviously they were really damning and he almost showed his real face and it was a different face they knew. from from the campaigns so we thought it might be possible but we didn't expect that what more can you tell us and i realize you might be hampered to some extent but what more can you tell us about the source of the video. we can't talk about the source of the video we don't comment on that because we have to protect our sources but the thing i can tell you is that we heard of the existence of this video. while back but we took kill kill this month that we've finally got our hands on the video and. possibility to check it to look at it

the e.u. a failed opposition leader jeremy coleman is saying discussions between his labor party and to reason is really conservatives have gone as far as they can parliament has tried for weeks to carry on the terms for the country's exit from the e.u. britain was due to leave on march 29th but that's been delayed until oct 31st well with all this ongoing disarray of a bricks at u.k.'s main policies about to turn their attention to campaigning for next week's european elections in person the vote is being seen as a barometer of how much support there is for leaving the e.u. and both of the traditional big 2 policies the conservatives on the right and labor on the left are collapsing in the polls laurence leamer looks now at the u.k.'s fast changing political landscape. these people believe they are the defenders of democracy in britain under siege by elites which would storm the barricades and overturn the bricks and referendum the new brics it party likes to encourage this fortress mentality and clearly many english people due to their way ahead in the polls and this is a warning t

government and the opposition labor party aimed at finding a break the compromise have collapsed labor leader jeremy corbyn ended the negotiations saying that it's to be. in prime minister teresa mayes government had so doubt that any deal between the 2 sides would be kept talks have been underway for 6 weeks in an effort to break a deadlock on the terms of the u.k.'s departure from the here came here. here's what the 2 had to say after those talks ended. well as germany called and says actually these talks have been constructive and we've made progress the areas where we have been able to find common ground but other issues of proved to be more difficult and in particular we haven't been able to overcome the fact that there isn't a common position in labor about whether they want to deliver it wrecks it or hold a 2nd referendum which could reverse it the government has not moved its position from the bank to the fundamental disagreements we want to have a customs arrangement with the european union protects jobs and trade and we want to have a dynamic relationship on rights we put tho

party 6 weeks of talks with the labor party and those had broken down but the pm said that she had learned something there had been areas of compromise that she had learned from those talks with the labor party and in this 4th installment she effectively said there would be some concessions and there you see the form of 10 points which would be reading about earlier now there are key points in there about workers' rights about environmental protection and the future relationship with the e.u. but the key point is the potential for a 2nd referendum for m.p.'s to vote if this bill goes through to the people if they were to pass it now along with that they also she called on parliament to break the impasse about the customs union there are huge differences of opinion on how we work with the in terms of trade and development but she called on parliament the m.p.'s to try and help solve that as well as the other impasse we have the special status over northern ireland for all our division and disagreement we believe in democracy that we want to make good on the promise we made to the british pe

but on the other hand you look at the labor party they are very divided over this and only last night we heard from emily thornberry who is a shadow cabinet minister saying that labor got it wrong over these elections and that they now need to promise a 2nd referendum and they need to back remain so they are very divided there is no clear way at the moment that we can predict what will happen by october i mean they could even be a general election everything is still all to play for here in westminster ok what does this mean for britain's delegation to the e.u. parliament will even be taking up in seats at this point. well yes they're supposed to take up a seat of course that doesn't begin until july so there is a bit of time before them but i can't see anything changing there given the fact that we are so divided over these overprotected and what happens next so it makes it very difficult because at the moment it looks like the bracks it party is the largest posse within the european parliament winning at least $28.00 seats could be $29.00 so they're going to be a big big force other

bill shorten said he would no longer lead the party after 6 years at the help. for a straight as conservatives and their leader this is an unexpectedly sweet victory scott morrison had trailed in every poll since he became prime minister but the former tourism executive has clung on with a tenacious one man campaign successfully concealing divisions among his team and now against the odds morrison has been returned as a stray as prime minister. before our government will come together after this night and we will get back to work and that is our task and that is my undertaking to astronomy and from one end of the country to the other i said that i was going to burn for you and. it's a night man 1st favorite bill shorten for decades he's been seen as a potential leader by labor shorten spent nearly 6 years uniting the divided party he presented a detailed policy plan and campaigned heavily on climate issues that voters rejected him and now he's quit his post i am proud that we argued what was right not what was a. this is what politics should be and our country.

voting for the labor party so if the greens fall over then my 2nd or 3rd or 4th choice will be elected so rather than have what in effect can become of the a minority government elected by the majority of minority voters that is we have a government often that use except it will to more people and the preference of money in my view is far more democratic it gives voters more choice preferential voting also does favor some of the smaller parties and do you worry that it does major policy shifts if indeed labor does when are they going to be able to get legislation through the senate. well the lighter winds or even if the liberal national party when it will be a senate that will be controlled by independents and will moderate parties and it's been that way now for a number of terms if like the wings they will need the support of the greens and between $2.00 and $4.00 non-green crossbenches now there is a danger if it is 3 or 4 or more that some of those crossbenches could be from the extreme right we have a political party all in the hands of one nation. that. well one of rights i have a

and that has the liberal party arguing that it costs the economy more financially and the labor party say that we pay for it now or we pay for it in the future. so it is a real argument and real division of ideas and real inability to discuss a proper way forward. on an issue that really impacts the entire country and of course the future generations. >> it is interesting to see how australia is taking this issue on. it is an issue that whether you like it or not, at some point will be at your front door, already is quite honestly. jamie, thank you again for your time. >> thank you. >>> severe weather strikes the american heartland. we'll have the latest on the powerful storm system ripping through the central u.s. >>> plus u.s. farmers are leaving the -- feeling the pinch rather from tariffs as the trade war with china rages on. what formers want the government to know. stay with us. getting dressed can be rough on sensitive skin. downy free & gentle has no perfumes, no dyes and softens clothes for sensitive skin. the only one trusted by the national psoriasis foundation.

of the two major party, analysts would tell you the opposition labor party has a stronger suite of measures for addressing the climate. the centre right prime minister scott morrison is also promising action as well but when you speak to voters, they do say that many of them think the government has been remiss, with an addiction to coal which is a cheap and plentiful in australia and generates the lion share of this country's electricity but you get the sense that, according to voters, the climate is the number one issue in this election. of course, we have many, many candidates and parties to choose from and also, australians have two votes — one for the house of representatives, the lower chamber of the australian parliament and also the senate and it is also worth noting that the senate ballot paper is a bigger than the ballot booth itself so it has the wingspan of your arms stretched out wide so lots and lots of choices for australians to make today. the united states and canada have agreed to drop tariffs on steel and aluminium imports imposed just under a year ago. it follows lengt

by its own admission in an existential crisis the main opposition labor party suffered too because of jeremy coleman's continued prevarication over whether or not he supports this in the aftermath he gave an indication he might now be prepared to support a new referendum what this party does. it supports an agreement with the european union to prevent crushing out supports putting that proposal when agreed to a public act there was in-fighting that directly to a surge in support for the greens and liberal democrats the total vote for parties which supports not leaving the european union at all was over 40 percent so they could say they won as well the number of votes the fact that more people have supported remain parties if you count us as the lead remaining party and then greens and change u.k. add those votes together more people have supported us and supported the brics it party the government has to listen there is one piece of common ground between the brics that party and its pro european opponents all of which outflank labor and the conservatives they're all demanding electora

negotiations with the labor party the u.k. was supposed to leave the e.u. on the 29th of march that hasn't happened happened and the u.k. wasn't supposed to be taking part in that new elections parliamentary elections that are taking place this week that is now happening so naturally all the questions at the end of that speech that to reason may just gave from the journalists perhaps while they were trying to figure out what it was she just said featured one big theme the question of when is she finally going to step down as prime minister and teflon to resign she's become known here wouldn't elaborate on all of that she's sort of like the walking political dead there's a quiet campaign already being played out for who becomes the next leader of the conservative party it's being sort of a popularity contest is in full swing but here she is still fighting trying to drag this bragg's it deal over the line in parliament within minutes of teresa mayes opposition parties across the board swiftly lined up to reject the new offer eve
