this is the deputy news live from berlin bribery allegations threaten to shake up the austrian government after german media published secretly taped video which they say show austria's far right chancellor was ready to take bribes for campaign funding. also coming up could australia via about to get another prime minister after 7 changes in 12 years you will talk about the political bloc but letting go over the country's top job ahead of national elections on sunday.

i'm sorry kelly holcomb to the program german media have uncovered evidence incriminating the austrian right wing populist freedom party of promising state contracts in exchange for campaign donations now the outlets spiegel and the seduction site on have published a secretly taped video allegedly showing the austrian vice chancellor heinz christians assuring a woman posing as a russian investor the possibility to invest in state sponsored road building projects she if she helped his party win the 27000 election now this meeting it lasted 6 hours and it seems to have been something in order to expose him and his party's or the campaign politics. to the conflicts that we're now we're joined by correspondent klaus pumpers who is standing by with us and vienna so what exactly

do these allegations mean now. if he can trust those reports from new dodge exciting entropy good then that would indicate 1st of all of the quote how to buy a stake in the biggest newspaper of austria colon sidetone because the lady is seems to offer a quarter of $1000000.00 or whatever euros to invest in austria and 2nd thing they seem to offer she should spend money to can pay enough to try out is about whether this is would be true we cannot really judge in the moment because even as a treat and 2 doctors i don't don't know who they had this comes from speaking names it's even it's a crisis for slaughter and it is really a crisis very true in the next days because today we only have the reports of those 2 mega zients and it's not proven who is the lady it's a prove it does this video is

a little bit strange because this video is obviously filmed as several cameras so let's make it a little bit suspicious whether the results are really valid because we don't know why it's and not publicize it before that election took place in 2017 it was made some beef before they indicate say this trial what could this mean for the current government. i think then it would mean for all kinds gusty and short as well as for yahoo dædalus who was the translator insists that they can and he is the leader of the party in parliament in the moment and he is the one who visited crimea several times already still but he was in parliament that could mean that those at the end would have to leave office if it's proven but it's not yet proven just the country is a city it was a lot of alcohol related indies 6 hours there was a meeting but it was a lot of folks who were in transit asked. the lady to give money to the party they indicated it has to be done in there is in the rules of the austrian government of

the austrian judicial system so it is the law saying that happened something and he has a saying is that you did us and try to say we didn't do it in a way that might somehow have hampered the additional system the rules the laws which exist in austria close pumpers on the latest with the story which is just breaking and certainly we will i imagine get more details over the coming days thank you so much for your reporting. there are coming. well head into london now in talks between the u.k. government and the opposition labor party aimed at finding a price a compromise has collapsed labor leader jeremy corbyn ended the negotiations saying that instability within prime minister teresa mayes government had still in doubt that any deal between the 2 sides with the capped talks have been underway for 6 weeks in an effort to break a deadlock on the terms of the haze departure from the campaign being an amazing

and here's what the 2 had to say after the talks ended. well as jeremy corbin says actually these talks have been constructive and we've made progress in areas where we have been able to find common ground but other issues have 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 cracks it or hold a 2nd referendum which could reverse it the government has not moved its position fundamentally there are fundamental disagreements we want to have a customs arrangement the european union protects jobs in trade and we want to have a dynamic relationship on rights we put those years very strong into the government we would not rule out a 2nd for that but it wouldn't be a referendum to something 16 terms it would be a referendum prevent you know to you castro protects it from the european. now australia could be set to get yet another prime minister repeated political

infighting has resulted in 7 in the last 12 years and national elections on saturday could add one more to the list he's only been on the job 9 months but prime minister scott morrison who leads the conservative center right government is expected to narrowly lose office until shortly he leaves the center left labor party surveys show that voters are concerned about the political instability but wages housing crisis and climate change are also top issues. so terribly it is here to fill us in tell us more about this election so i mean currently though i mean australia really seems to be brutally disposing of its prime ministers if one indeed is elected tomorrow can they will they last this is one of the big questions of this election i mean like you just said i mean it's gotten so ridiculous that one commentator annabel crabb calls it the great assett prime ministerial asset recycling scheme just so many prime ministers coming in and

out of the of the office and voters are really sick of it a couple of times now they've gone to bed with one prime ministerial person in the in the top job and they've woken up the next morning and because of stuff happening in canberra a city far away from him there's been someone else running the country and people don't understand why and why don't they understand because politicians have been really bad at explaining why they keep doing this in this contributes to a sense of disillusionment in politics people people think politicians are really only out for themselves and their career is whether or not this happens again i'm up to mystic at white because of rules that the major parties have put in place to stop these types of coups happening and this is something that our colleague told dull roy has explained very well in this piece on the elections i hope you enjoy that. the last 4 times australians have voted in federal election. they've ended up with a different prime minister than the one they expected voters faith in their democracy

is wavering surveys show trust in politicians is at a historic low concession. and people. infighting amongst themselves and acting on interest rates governing on behalf. of the nation australia's political chaos started when labor leader kevin rudd was dumped in a coup led by his deputy julia guillard but rudd had his revenge just months before an election which the party lost then it was the liberals turn the conservative tony abbott arrived promising stability but he lost it just 2 years before being rolled by the moderate malcolm turnbull who himself was replaced made last year. the current prime minister scott morrison knows australians have had enough. you know it's been a pretty tumultuous time and i think the strides would welcome the fact that that period of time was out and it should be either a strange expect that of the parliament and i'm pleased that that's the case the

yards of bitterness has come to a close and they are just working together in the focusing on the future has come this election both main parties have introduced rules to make internal cusa more difficult now instead of a simple majority of over 50 percent a supermajority of caucus members will be required to vote out a sitting prime minister 75 percent for labor and for the liberals 2 thirds of their parliamentarians under such rules most of the recent leadership challenges would have failed but it might not be enough to satisfy voters so we can expect to see just how to the current government because it instability what we've seen over time in a straight line is it gradually drifted away from the manger parities and the right gradual rise and look what might have had these and independents independents who could control the balance of power in the new parliament and decide who becomes the next prime minister this time perhaps for a full term. so

a lot of focus there on the political instability in the country but this is also being called the climate change election tell us more about that well the number of surveys of votes is saying that climate change is the number one thing that they concerned about this election and it's pretty easy to see why because last year was the hottest year recorded in astray they've been fires and floods and droughts and all of these things and people are seeing the real the real effects of climate change happening around them and also to australia as one of the world's biggest emitters of carbon per capita and governor. over the last decade have tried and failed to put in law climate policy so there's a rule frustration at politicians they just want something to be done about climate change from an international perspective i mean how should you know people abroad be paying attention to these results well one thing to look at i think is china is

china is a straight is biggest trading partner but the relationship has soured in recent years because of security concerns if a while away the government blocks away from developing 5 g. high speed internet and this is something that a lot of other countries around the world are grappling with what to do about our way and if a new government is elected i think china is going to try and reset that relationship will certainly be interesting to keep an eye on territory thank you. for that a quick check now some other stories making news around the world the humanitarian organization c watch says that it rescued 65 migrants from a rubber dinghy off of libya on wednesday the charity says that its best of all is for now stranded at sea because the forty's haven't allowed it to dock anywhere libya's west coast is a main departure point for people hoping to reach here on. buckingham palace has
