brother was paid for with public funds, it the late former mayor should be a private thing because it isa should be a private thing because it is a religious of toronto. it may have been that left of centre ceremony. thank you vote rs may have been that left of centre voters simply were reacting to that so much for that, ford factor in this case. it may rupert wingfield—hayes. we are seeing live have been that ndp voters on the pictures from inside the imperial palace attended by 2000 guest including foreign left of the political spectrum, who royals our initially enthused by the leadership and the campaign of their leader thanks to mariko we nt and the campaign of their leader went to the ballot booth, had a moment and said, we 0i. stay with me on bbc news, i'll be are more back with the business briefing motivated by blocking a conservative government than by seeing our own in party do well. and that may have just beena party do well. and that may have been a major factor as well. a so a minority government it looks like forjustin trudeau. what will it be few stable? which party will hold the moments. balance of power? coalition hello there. the next couple of days governments are a rare aren't looking too bad. a bit of dry thing in weather around but not completely canada. when we talk about an dry across the board that is because official coalition where a party we have this weather front affecting will support the the far north of the uk. we will liberals, maybe have lost the weather front across givena will support the liberals, maybe given a seat at the table of the south—east which brought the rain on monday first we started government to have members of the party appointed to cabinet. we have tuesday off on a mainly dry, quite not had a true coalition chilly note. some early mist and fog

government in 80 years. longer than in england and wales which should that, lift and clear and then plenty of possibly. but what we are sunshine through the day. more cloud likely to see, what may come to pass is what further north especially scotland and northern ireland and then the we saw in 2006 and rain affecting the far north of the 2008 under the country and it will be breezy here. prime ministership of the temperatures until maybe 1a conservative leader or 15 stephen harper. and brightest bills further south which will feel quite pleasant. he governed for two terms in a through tuesday night, any central minority situation by doing a and southern areas staying dry. handful of things. number it will stay chilly in one or two one, daring the opposition parties to places. read easier and milder bring him down knowing full well that canadians would not in the mood across the far north and west where we hold onto the cloud and rain to go back to the polls soon and and knowing that the war chest for those winds are quite a feature across the far north—west of the campaigns where empties. country. one into wednesday, what he did almost in between weather systems. this one will to bring more cloud and breeze instead was go to the other parties oi'i instead was go to the other parties ona instead was go to the other parties in the west and this vigorously will on a vote by the policy by policy case— by—case on a vote by the policy by policy case—by—case basis and make a spend heavy vigorous rains deal. and will say, we need the budget past who send the weather front up towards will we align with. this pipeline the south—east which will bring more needs to be done, who will be line cloud here through the course of up needs to be done, who will be line up with. it is certainly now raising wednesday. maybe one or two showers developing and it will be quite a couple of big windy in the north and the questions. what will west of the uk. 0utbreaks be the future of the windy in the north and the west of the uk. outbreaks of rain which will p9p up the uk. outbreaks of rain which will pep up and become heavy in times. we tm x pipeline and what happens with should see a slice of fine weather

and again temperatures 12— electoral reform? you 15 cents and what happens with electoral reform ? you have and what happens with electoral —— celsius. as we reform? you have a situation where, again, popular vote did reform? you have a situation where, again, popularvote did not reform? you have a situation where, again, popular vote did not result in the most seats head onto thursday, the low pressure system in parliament. even though the liberals are should swing into northern and celebrating it is a poisoned chalice western areas and bring a spell of going into windy weather to western scotland in the kind particular. could see gail or severe of parliament gales for a time. showers or longer that shachi just described. going into the kind of parliament that shachi just describedm going into the kind of parliament that shachi just described. it will be difficult for the liberals. they spells of rain here. further south will not get much sleep as they or east, so showers around but also would like for the sunshine and the winds will not be quite as strong. still quite a next few years. a blustery the temperatures minority government lasts about two yea rs minority government lasts about two years on average. but it will be again low— good for the country. mid teens celsius. we could see 16 they'd tend to degrees in the south—east. the area deliver fantastic things for the of low pressure swings northwards, country including medicare for which canada is known something a little bit drierfor a around the world. while but we look to the does it forces consensus? it does south—west force bargaining. there may and this next area of low pressure will move in bringing milder air to be forced consensus. look southern areas and then outbreaks of to see a rain through the tabletop cold air different sort of will be looming across the north of the country so we could see some climate plan and winteriness over the high ground, a particularly as this rain moves its big talk about a natural way northwards. some of housing strategy is liberals have to work the rain could be quite heavy. single values with the new democrats and in the north on friday and 15 perhaps

in the south—east. quebec party. and in that case you may see some concessions to the nationalist party there. it will be interesting to see but again, not a lot of sleep for liberals for the next few years and an interesting parliament for the rest of us. it is not yet over. we are now in the day after. david, shachi, thank you both for joining after. david, shachi, thank you both forjoining us. we will continue our special coverage of this election here, reporting from toronto. not all the seats have been counted that there is certainly a clear trend. it is difficult arithmetic in an election where there is a first past the post system. the conservatives are ahead in the popular vote not ahead, running behind in the seeds. we will add up the numbers when they are all in but that is all for us in toronto for now. —— running behind in the seats.

interesting to see the changing landscape of politics in canada. a theme in many countries around the world. but now, let's head to japan. japan's new emperor naruhito is formally ascending the chrysanthemum throne in a ceremony inside the imperial palace in tokyo which is being witnessed by royalty and dignitaries from around the world. naruhito became emperor on may 1st upon the abdication of his father. but, to many japanese, today is the highpoint of the imperial transition. joining me now is our correspondent mariko 0i in tokyo. this is a big event for you this is the business briefing. personally as well. in i'm sally japanese. bundock. took us through the uk government battles the day. indeed. to get its brexit legislation through parliament after the this is a significant speaker blocks a straight yes or no day forjapan. vote. for many of our viewers who were the economics of poverty — watching us back in may when he one of this year's nobel prize winners shares his biggest did become the new emperor concerns

ofjapan, the about the global 126th emperor, you may be one economy. and on the financial markets, very if we had a ceremony no action injapan today with markets shut to mark the formal already. —— you ascent of japan's new emperor. may be wondering. but there are positive signs about trade talks still some events to take place and helping other markets in asia. it is not uncommon for these events to happen over several years. we now start to see some live pictures from the imperial palace but the event todayis the imperial palace but the event today is about introducing emperor naruhito and his empress to the world. so some 2000 guests are here to attend the event including several hundred guests who let's have flown in from abroad to attend including prince charles of the uk. there has been speculation about who will be coming to the event. whether 01’ will be coming to the event. whether or not some politics would affect. a lot of talk about who south korea would send, for example, as the two countries are now locked in a trade war. south korea has decided to send the prime minister instead of the president. even as late as

yesterday, there were reports that carrie lam, the chief executive of hong kong may attend but on the latest list we were given yesterday ina latest list we were given yesterday in a press briefing, her name was not on it. the event, the ceremony is now under way inside the imperial palace and we will be watching the amazing outfit that the emperor and empress will be wearing. the outset that the emperor naruhito is wearing is only worn by the emperor himself. also the empress will be wearing a 12 layered robe. can you imagine how long that would take to get ready?! and an amazing hairstyle she has as well. some reporters were asking how long it takes to get her hair ready yesterday and the answer was we don't know. it is very complicated. it takes a while and even in the rehearsal when we were looking at it we we re rehearsal when we were looking at it we were wondering what is actually

in guide she has very short hair so she must be using a week but it is a complicated yet full hairstyle. this ceremony goes back centuries. centuries of history. fascinating and we cannot wait to see it all. thank you for now and we will speak to you soon as the ceremonies continue. now let's head to israel. benjamin netanyahu, israeli's prime minister for the past decade, has said he is giving up efforts to form a new coalition government. the past two parliamentary elections have been inconclusive, and the way is now clear for mr netanyahu's more centrist rival, benny gantz, to try to form a government. gareth barlow has the details. israelis have gone to the polls twice in 2019, and on both occasions, there's been no clear winner. after april's election, benjamin neta nyahu struggled to form a coalition. so another vote was held in september.

but once again, he's failed to find unity. translation: good evening, citizens of israel. a short while ago i informed the president that i am returning him the mandate to form a government. since the receiving the mandate, i worked unceasingly, both openly and secretly to form a broad, national unity government. it means the man seen here on the left, benny gantz, who served as head of the military under benjamin netanyahu, will try to form his own coalition. his blue and white party has already been backed by israeli—arab politicians, but it will need more support. benjamin gantz. he's ruled out working with the prime minister as benjamin netanyahu is facing corruption investigations. there's just 28 days to form a government. if benny gantz fails, a third candidate may be found, or a third election may be held. gareth barlow, bbc

news. let's ta ke let's take you live to japan whether ceremony is now under way. you can see there the new emperor as he ascends to the throne. moments ago we got a glimpse of his wife. she is next to him, as you can see there. cannot quite get a close—up to see the extraordinary hair construction that we were being told about moments ago but this is a ceremony thatis moments ago but this is a ceremony that is well under way now as we mentioned, thousands of people have come from all over the world including prince charles, representing the uk, for this ritual bound ceremony. we will keep your ci’oss bound ceremony. we will keep your cross it as it does progress that may keep you across it. —— we will keep you across it has the day progresses. the british prime minister,

borisjohnson is urging mps to back legislation to implement his brexit deal, as three days of intensive debate in the commons begins. 0pposition mps say that the bill isn't being given enough time to face proper scrutiny. a vote on the timetable for debates later today could be the first stumbling block for the process. here's our politicial correspondent nick eardley. the government was not new plan to deliver brexit next week. 110 places —— pages to legislation with —— which if it passes will pave the way for the uk to leave the eu. ahead of the debate today the prime minister said that he had the parliament votes to take back control for itself and the british people did and then the country can start to focus on the cost of living, the nhs and conserving the environment. the public does not want any more delays, neither do other european leaders and neither do y. but opposition parties are angry. they think the government is moving too fast by proposing to give mps just three days to scrutinise the bill. at every stage, mr speaker, the government has run scared of this house and democracy. and it is now attempting to force through a

flawed brexit deal which sells out people ‘sjobs, rights brexit deal which sells out people ‘s jobs, rights and brexit deal which sells out people ‘sjobs, rights and our communities. mps will vote later and the basic ideas in the legislation. if they give the green light, they will then vote on the government ‘s timetable. administers loose, it will be a big blow. but if mps agree, line by line scrutiny begins. the next few days will not be plain sailing because opposition parties are going to try and change the legislation to include things like a closer relationship with the eu and a second referendum on whether we leave at all. either of which will throw borisjohnson plans into disarray. things at westminster have been farfrom disarray. things at westminster have been far from straight forward recently. next few days will have some twist as well. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: the enthronementof the japanese emperor is taking place in tokyo's imperial palace — in front of world leaders and

dignitaries from 170 countries. for for decades. —— a historic moment that many of his victims have waited for for decades. the former dictator in the dock, older, slimmer, and, as he sat down, obedient enough. dawn, and as the sun breaks through the piercing chill of night on the plain outside korem, it lights up a biblical famine, now, in the 20th century. the depressing conclusion, in argentina today, it's actually cheaper to paper your walls with money. we've had controversies in the past with great britain. but as good friends, we've always found a good and lasting
