8:02 am
a bittersweet day for malcolm turnbull although he has been forced out he'll be replaced by one of his closest backers. well after the change in leadership malcolm turnbull gave his final speech as australian prime minister and we have set we have achieved a great deal it has been i you know i there are some things that i would have liked to have completed or done more on that to be really honest with you we've got so much more done in this government and particularly in this parliament than i expected or and i certainly a lot more than any of you expected as you know skeptics that you all are sort of thank you all very much and i wish you all the best and above all i wish the new prime minister elect the very best and his team thank you. let's go straight to journalist roger maynards standing by for us in sydney good
8:03 am
morning roger this time yesterday we were talking about the possibility of a change where you are what was the deciding factor in turnbull's quick exit. well basically it's been a day of high a political drama started earlier this morning the prime minister demanded to see all forty three people's names on a petition before he agreed to call what's known as a leadership spill here it took a couple of hours a sort all that out it also took more legal shenanigans when the solicitor general have to give his advice on whether peter dutton was a liberty to sit in parliament that was turmel as a main rival and then that was also to learn and the leadership spill went ahead just before lunch and. it was a three way race between peter dugan scott morrison and julie bishop as the foreign affairs minister julie bishop didn't make the the first round of the ballot and she
8:04 am
she had to withdraw after the first round and left it between scott morrison and peter dunne and scott morrison won the day about forty five votes to forty a lot of big margin you have to say but it isn't a certain margin of us yeah it is a margin what can you tell us about scott morrison australia's new prime minister where does he want to take the country. well in many ways it's very similar to scott to a good turn what is greater sense that they they share the same sort of political thinking they're much the same on climate change and energy policy well the. morrison don't support dark immigration in australia and that's quite a political quite a controversial issue here but they're much the same sort of people in many ways there though they were close confidant an illustrator and you know term as prime
8:05 am
minister and in many ways we might well have see the much the same as before and that will anger the right wing of the liberal party who've been trying to cost nothing to a lot of us because today it's ok what does this mean about the possibility of early elections or is that something that's out there at this hour. there's a very strong possibility merkel turnbull a signal his intention to resign as an m.p. it's only assume that will mean the government the ones seat majority will disappear if the opposition liberal party decide to hold a no confidence vote and that wins then we could see an early general election at the moment on strayer doesn't have to hold an election until next may but it may of the government may well have and forced by their or the lack of a majority you know in government and it could well be that australia goes to the polls before the end of the year roger maynard maynard for us in sydney as ever
8:06 am
roger thanks very much for that you can run. well malcolm turnbull is the latest on all long list of australian leaders to be dumped before the end of their term here's a look at how canberra as earn the title of who capital of the western world. australia has a new prime minister again but how long will scott morrison last he's the sixth prime minister in just over a decade none of his predecessors to fill the post three year term. the tunnel started in two thousand and seven with labor's kevin rudd who took the reins from one of australia's longest serving prime ministers with rudd's popularity plummeting by two thousand and ten his party colleague julia guillard defeated him in a leadership challenge becoming the country's first female prime minister except rudd made a comeback in two thousand and thirteen giving guillard a taste ever in medicine by wrangling party leadership back. to his second stay in
8:07 am
the prime minister's office would be brief just a few months later voters had their say in part fed up with labor's infighting they threw them out in favor of their liberal opponents the liberal party leader tony abbott assumed the prime ministership for a time anyway. this will prove the people of the right all is taking a page from labour's chaotic playbook not come turnbull made his move against abbott assuming leadership in two thousand and fifteen. now what he did to abbott well just got done to him turnbull bowed out after being pushed to call a leadership meeting which he considered a vote of no confidence scott morrison is top liberal dog for now but there's no telling how long he might last all that is certain is australian public opinion the persistent intra party take downs in both major parties has confidence in them at
8:08 am

8:12 am
news for you brad we do have a report previewing the season let's take a look at that now ok. the new bundesliga season is upon us ready to treat fans to another glut of emotions. germany's shocking world cup campaign however is still fresh in focus as well as the poor performance of bundesliga clubs in europe paying competition last internationally german football is going through a bleak period only by merely because stood out they made the semifinals of the champions league last season and of march to six consecutive bundesliga titles with little competition under new coach nico because that's the champions expect their writing to continue. and it's six months. by now six times champions in a row who want to make sure that we have champions again for a seventh time but we also know that the others will not make it easy going to try
8:13 am
everything to take the crown office gotten by instalments is dangerous the title race can only be competitive if other clubs boost their spending but to the fifty plus one rule investors can't completely take over the bundesliga clubs massive transfer fees paid by sides in england spain or by french heavyweights paras such a man simply cannot be matched dawson to spend seventy three million euro zone new players the most out of any bundesliga club after a turbulent twelve months there is hope of the revival is known as a top storm situation where a lot of questions have to be asked but i'm a long way from saying that everything was bad. but of course we know that we have to raise our performances so that we can once again treat our fans to proper football. but. the bonus leaguers becoming a development and selling league. as they go runners up show cars sold central defender t. located to p.s.g.
8:14 am
for thirty seven million euros but they still want to challenge bind for the championship i cough and hi i'm also haven't invested heavily but their coach is upbeat in his final season of the club tell me that every team basically wants to be champion we're giving everything to have a successful season and then we'll see what comes at the end of the campaign a more exciting season that's what old german football fans are hoping for but there has been a supporter backlash as the bundesliga becomes increasingly commercialized yet without the increased cash flow the legal full further behind its rivals it's a balancing act that the bonus they can must achieve in the upcoming season. it's a very tough balancing act isn't across is the bonus league are in danger of falling behind countries like england spain even france and especially because of the restrictions it's under but let me explain those restrictions really quickly in the
8:15 am
bonus they get squat unique they have what you call the fifty plus one rule which is designed to give fifty plus one majority control to the club the voters and it prevents if one investor coming in to have a majority vote in pretty much taking over the club and changing the tradition completely you know some fans argue that restricts clubs spending their strict simply becoming competitive against teams such as fire you know so soon so that's one thing or you could suggest that teams just spin wisely and retain players for longer because as we heard of the report the bun as they get has become somewhat of a development league you know for players just to increase their value and then springboard to another league so. i'm split on the decision we have to wait and see how this season pans out because you know hired as we saw he has a new manager hard so we don't know if they will you know remain at the top of the table or not we have to see ok traditional sayings those restrictions keep tradition in the club talking about the richest club now byron munich it looks like
8:16 am
they're about to sell one of their all time greats right you know drop would say that's been going back and forth you know according to reports there were two teams interested manchester united buyer reportedly refused that offer and according to the latest report i've just read this morning that they have reduced their asking price for saying you know given the option for p.s.g. if they want to do pull the trigger but of course and of course boateng has voiced his desire as well of joining the french champions i mean they have neymar superstars so we have to wait and see what happens but set. is discussed in a television interview that you might see a drawing board saying actually exit by the end of the transfer window so remains to be saying we have to see what happens ok there's a lot there remains you see in the season let's take a look at dortmund and their new coach i was out looking illusion. you know he said it to stance in the bin as they did before he's a smart tactician a perfectionist and he's known for developing young players and young talent you
8:17 am
don't want a particular marco royce he gets credited for pretty much bringing marco royce into the player he's known as today and increasing his value so that's a really good matchup when you consider all of the young talent that exists at dortmund and he's a perfectionist you know that's also you know a good thing because he's going to be hard on the players and he's going to demand results which is the most important thing for dorman right now chris thanks very much chris arne and for us from this forced us. well this weekend moscow will be hosting a huge for us all to celebrate the ninetieth anniversary of gorky park you know the name of course named after the writer maxim gorky is one of the russian capital's most iconic landmarks the name of a popular film in recent years is on the dawn a major facelift over a new generation of muscovites especially those a lot. for alexander valley area there's no better place in all of moscow even in the rain. corky park is in the center of the russian capital
8:18 am
and it's at the heart of countless stories but this is not what you are proposed to hear when we're ice skating for the gold oh that's right i forgot to look. up the. corky central park of culture and leisure as it's officially known has just turned ninety. but. the park has twenty six million visitors every year and has long become part of the fabric of people's lives here in moscow the classical. it's not sleep classic for dates to meet here for a long look at the swans and imagine that everyone is as loyal as them that they can see disappointed my aunt had a heart and go to sleep on your own. just the just when i was a kid i used to care for who came with my mother my only one back took
8:19 am
a dip in the fountain we cut our feet in the ocean it was fun to let the museum in the park shows how it all began in one nine hundred twenty eight gorky park quickly became known around the world as a symbol of socialism it was part of the soviet drive to create a new athletic ideal even a new man does most of the blue the when you go to the park was founded it's the parkside of the epitome of soviet lifestyle this population of three million people lived in humble and sometimes difficult conditions at the time. boards in market stall much very slow in the glory of her there were sports grounds and clubs for popular soviet games like chess and checkers you could play volleyball basketball all the ball games ball or. sports and activities are still a big part of park life. but after a huge revamp in two thousand and eleven the park has also become a symbol of
8:20 am
a transformed modern moscow. it was part of the soviet vision for a city of the future and ninety years later gorky park is still the park of the people. well jackson hole is also a very popular gathering place for a whole different crowd you need to have a very special interest brian for example if you are a central bank although central bankers are coming together right now in jackson hole wyoming for their annual economic retreat which is organized by the federal reserve which runs until some today at india's investors and fed watches are especially awaiting the keynote address from the central bank's chairman jerome powell it will be his first chance to comment publicly on recent criticism from the white house president on a strong he said he was unhappy with the fit's plan of gradual interest rate hikes that was a break with a long standing convention of presidents to not comment on the fed's decisions to
8:21 am
preserve the bank's independence palace remarks in jackson hole will also be examined for any clues as to whether he things washington straight policies will hurt the u.s. economy and how badly and for more on this i would like to check now with callum pickering see the economist at their back bank in london good to have you with us so we just heard central bank has a gathering there in jackson hole and i'm sure they have a lot to talk about what's the biggest issue. biggest issue is essentially trade wars and fed policy now when it comes to fed policy the message from jackson hole from any of the fed buying his will simply be that the fed is not trying to spoil the u.s. or global upswing through its interest rate hike simply trying too much the renewed strength when it comes to trade well that's an easy one to economists hate trade wars it raises prices for no reason so it will be probably
8:22 am
a warning that if the u.s. continues to push for trade wars that will worsen economic conditions both at home in the u.s. and abroad well let's stick to u.s. trade and foreign policy because for example fresh sanctions again iran prompted several global players to pull out of the country including british airways how much pressure is there from the white house. well it really links to the u.s. economy the u.s. is still the biggest and most important economy in the world to assume a certain extent we all have to downs to the us is chewed the trade issue is much bigger than the science issue we worry over here in europe a lot about trade wars of course we're in some fifty percent of our g.d.p. from exports the u.s. it's some fifteen good news is the u.s. and e.u. seem to have seen signed some kind of truce since the young trump meeting some two weeks ago now we have to focus on the u.s.
8:23 am
china issue latest news varies there's no real progress so we could see some more escalation of the trade war between the u.s. and china that will be tough for markets to deal with talking of markets and what they have to deal with because president donald trump in an interview said that if he was to be impeached or that will be a big problem for markets let's just listen to what he said exactly. i'll tell you what if i ever got a ph i think the market would prayer. i think everybody would be very poor. because without this thinking you would see that you would see numbers that you wouldn't believe in reverse. right there was one trump in an interview there callin pickering say the economist of bank in london basically trump says back off or wall street will collapse but when bill clinton was impeached twenty years ago stock markets didn't actually fare where very well what do you make of his comments there . i think probably as he always has
8:24 am
a habit of doing mr trump is painting a little bit too much of a complement the reason that he may have boosted markets earlier this year on earlier last year is due to the fiscal stimulus and the economic reform but those two polls he's a have a largely been an active search trump were to step down now it would still be more of the same before the mental driving markets would continue. to last name we heard his criticism of the fed and its intention to raise interest rates do you think that the fed will nevertheless continue despite outspoken criticism i think so at the margin it may actually make the fed a little more hawkish that means a little more inclined to hike interest rates just to prove a point that it is indeed independent right alan pickering this senior economist at bear in their bank in london thank you so much for your time. meanwhile
8:25 am
u.s. sanctions against russia appear to be biting the ruble has fallen to its lowest level against the u.s. dollar in two years now in a bid to stabilize the foreign currency russia's central bank says it will stop buying foreign currency until the end of september. the turbulent day for the ruble as it plunged to a two year low against the dollar then came the announcement from the central bank and calm was restored temporarily at least analysts say there's an easy explanation for the volatility this is all related to the threat of sanctions or more sanctions coming from the u.s. the market is full of rumors as to what may or may not be coming next out of u.s. congress and that's creating a lot of nervousness and volatility in the room at the ruble earlier this week the u.s. imposed sanctions on two russian shipping companies accused of trading oil with north korea and russia's alleged involvement in the poisoning of former spy said gates

cripple seen here on the right could result in a new far reaching set of sanctions on the streets of moscow locals don't appear too fazed by the rubles declining value. here most of my savings are in rubles so it doesn't matter that much to me my clients pay me in rubles too so i haven't suffered losses there either the only thing which worries me is that they say prices will be growing well let's see. that. but wait and see wasn't a strategy the central bank was willing to risk the rubles weakness has come despite an increase in oil prices and a general improvement in the russian economy a fresh set of u.s. sanctions could swiftly undo those games. and here's a reminder now of the top story we're following for you. australia's prime minister malcolm turnbull has been voted out of office by his party his replacement is scott
