following the australian election very closely and joins me now in the studio for more. clearly a major upset that's right such a long time now it had been predicted by opinion polls in fact the exit polls today after the election that bill shorten would be the new prime minister but it just wasn't to be this is such an upset a shot queen for the incumbent scott morrison he's really pulled he's back from the bring this was just completely unexpected and we're seeing some interesting parallels people are comparing this to the opposite of donald trump in 2016 in calling bill shorten the. election hillary clinton so this is just it's hard to overstate how much of an upset this is what exactly went wrong for the labor party look they put forward a very ambitious policy agenda on climate action and increased taxes
7:05 pm
on the wealthy and comparatively the government's policy agenda was was not as extensive as labor's and perhaps. overwhelming verges read what it was trying to achieve voters consistently put climate change as the number one issue affecting them and when you put the 2 parties side by side in fact labor had more to offer in that respect they were much more ambitious they wanted to get trend towards renewables and things like electric cars for example where is the the government was quite happy to just on its commitments to the paris accord but not go further than that because of it was worried about the economic impacts so yeah it clearly agenda didn't connect to viruses also to i think personality played. to bill shorten as someone. verges don't necessarily like he is he was involved in the

7:09 pm
government. most probably it really nazi end of the coalition government because the only was really to proceed as a coalition if the interior minister kicker was ot so or in a very bad situation or race threatening as islands he is my parents trying to imitate it it'll be over but it's the end i'm very near by he wants to get rid of him and treat him but he doesn't want him to leave the government so i think he will say no and say you're a martyr and bye bye and if you have a new election in september thank you very much bye bye but where does that leave the freedom party in austria and the turmoil in one week from now be a place in the european elections and result is just logical route rebids just over 14 years after the party bus splits between i direct them to start to.

reestablish the party as a powerful party which is in coalition here in uk austria this is social democrats in voting on and after the split of this coalition the n b n and even the building a total democrat said we really decide and you on monday was a big can continue it is going to most probably they ought to go out and we'll have new elections so the party is going down as expected after the last post before this medium came out of 23 percent now i expect them to state somewhere down under 20 percent maybe $817.00 or less. so how could this scandal affect the european elections. the writing code is all over europe who is a mixed day in milan expect it to get in the minority in european parliament as a follow up of this attack and today most probably they don't get to just say no strongly they don't reach a certain percentage of the bottom line they needed for this and most probably

a lot of people know are rare series writing these cheating us in surveys and this video makes it very open and clear what he's trying for example just said from austrian sings to a russian gas at least so everybody can now written i was writing about a maybe a narrow. class from place in vienna thank you very much to the buddhist leader now buy in munich have sealed a 7 straight title after convincing final day win over find frankfurt. bad have i been watching the moment they got to lift the bundesliga trophy fire and had their fate in their own hands on the final day and they made no mistake with a 51 victory frank riverine and i'll have robin both scored in their final appearances for buying and keeping with tradition coach nicole it's was drenched in
7:12 pm
beer which decided it up 2 points ahead of bush your daughter all over moving from new sports is with me now to talk a little bit more about this championship year i mean thing. they always dominate but this year byron did not know what happened yes certainly i mean they're not used to waiting to the last day of the season to confirm the late. but i think the fact that they did have to wait so long as a sign of great up evil at the club by munich at the moment as crazy as that might sound considering we're talking about them just having won the league if you look at the screen they were just so frankly very and now i and robin these are 2 guys who scored in the game today not just that though that's 2 players that by and success has been built around for the last decade they are leaving this summer and by quite simply do not have players of the same caliber stepping in to replace the nice i mean they're going to have to work on you also have to look at the coach.
7:13 pm
now he might be celebrating today drenched in beer but the fact is there's a lot of speculation about his future there seems to be a lot of uncertainty about whether he is the right man to lead by in munich forward a lot of new stories coming out at the moment and you can understand why considering that this year is the lowest points total the by munich have had in this run of 7 borders league titles by and don't want to drop the title any lower of course it did get them over the line in the end and that's the most important thing indeed years and i can remember it felt like several weeks ago people were celebrating dortmund i mean they were essentially crowned what went wrong for them in the 1st half of the season it really looked like dortmund were just going to steamroll let everyone in the league and run away with a title they were 9 points clear at one point as recently as march in fact they were top of the table but you could see a couple of points this season that there were problems with the squad they just didn't seem to have the squad depth so to compete on 3 fronts with the league the
7:14 pm
cup and the champions league and that really cost them when they lost a couple of key players to injury like mark or royce we saw on screen just a moment ago i think as well the center forward position was a problem for them in the 1st half of the season catheter was scoring a lot of goals those goals dried up and when they do. he didn't really have the skills of a kind of a focal point of the attack to really fill that sense of forward position and i think those 2 things really cost dortmund and if they can't fix them in the near future then i think this is a season that is really going to haunt them the season that was the last i mean it was so close just very briefly this was probably their best chance wasn't and do you see by munich securing another victory in the future it's hard to see it going any other way in a bind of already wrapped up 2 signings for next season with lucas of numbers and abandonment of aa as the last 2 defenders in to bowl still that back line and you would think by and more solid on the other hand dortmund probably looking at trying to avoid some of their best players leaving jaden for example
7:15 pm
a revelation this season there's a lot of fear that he could be leaving if not this some of them say and that means that you have to think by another favorites again of a movie thanks so much appreciate it if you're watching the news up next shift with a look at how fake news is being turned into cash that's after a short break and of course i'll be back at the top of the hour with more news straight to. what's coming up for the book orders for you plenty to talk about here on. going to sleep every weekend here in utah.
