again, a great example of the way in which i have sought always to stand up for australian jobs, australianto ensure that we could bring back the rule of law on the building sector, our australian building and construction commission, that was obviously one of the double dissolution triggers, but again many thought that was impossible, but we we re thought that was impossible, but we were able to achieve it. so i think it has been... it has been a challenging time, to be prime minister, but i'm very proud of our record, i'm very proud of our government and my ministers‘ record at achievements, so i want to thank all of my colleagues and my staff, but, you know, above all i want to thank my wife, lucy, for the love and support, i want to thank our children, alex and his wife yvonne, and our daughter daisy and her husband james. it isn‘t easy being married to, or the child of, a politician, let alone a prime minister. and often children get attention from the media and others that they frankly don‘t deserve in terms of, you know, people wanting to sort of have a crack at their father by going

completed a fool term in office australians must be pretty tired of all this revolving door politics i can't begin to tell you how distressed most people are that what goes on in the nih in the federal government it's a new as you said it's a relatively new ten years that's not a long standing traditional practice something we've become. restive and let's listen to the italian political system in changing leaders and one of the characteristics of this town is that. most people. will still be wondering if anything is right in the electorate what was this about what great principle was at stake what's the policy difference because none has been set out there's no explanation from. the from the outgoing prime minister the incoming one the chap the other challenges what this was actually about all right peter hartcher that political editor of the sydney morning herald peter thank you very much indeed. all right some other news now a saudi emirate to coalition air strike in yemen has killed at least twenty six civilians including women and children who theme media says it happened in the

we have seen the australian dollar to this on friday, it strengthened to.k with the events of last week highlighted is that the financial markets are nervous about leadership instability. even though global markets went up, the astro in sharemarket fell and we also saw the dollar come down on the back of that as well. then, when scott morrison was confirmed we saw a bit of a ounce back. a bit of relief in markets which is good news, i guess that uncertainty going on in terms of what sort of damage this has done to the government's standing in the opinion polls is still there. the markets will be on edge that it is they are fretting over whether there might bea they are fretting over whether there might be a change of government at the time of the next election. in other words, this instability has increased the risk that there may be a change of government. let's take a look at what else is making news this week. on wednesday we will be getting the revised reading on gdp from the us for the march tojune quarter. the initial reading showed an extension of 4.

malcolm turnbull has been ousted as australian prime minister after a vote by liberal party m.p.'s the country's treasurer scott morrison has been chosen as his successor comes off a few days in australian politics turnbull survived a vote on his leadership as recently as tuesday and the last off he told the media he plans to retire from politics. i was impressed by how many of my colleagues spoke or voted for loyalty above disloyalty. how the insurgents were not rewarded. by electing mr dutton for example but instead the successor who i wish the very best of course scott morrison a very loyal and effective treasurer well from all of this let's cross live to kathy novak in sydney kathy said tell us a bit more about scott morrison and what is it a surprise that he won the leadership contest even though he wasn't the main challenger surprising in so far as that he wasn't the challenger as you say we heard malcolm turnbull there refer to him mr dutton that's peter dutton who is from the more conservative side of the right wing ruling liberal party here in australia malcolm turnbull i

and australian rate differentials.this suggest that we are going to see further aussie weakness as we turn away from the political turmoil? as i said, that has been in a sense going on for 11 years. is something that has been a very key focus. u.s.arted to dip with rates becoming higher than australian rates. what the fx market has found is it has not really been a driver. with the rba having such neutral policy, there has not really been australian fundamental as a driving the aussie. now that we have political risks, it has been a bit more of the aussie driver for the past week. one thing we would like to highlight is the positioning. tensions again to rise at the beginning of the summer. it's really a risk-off position in g10. what we think this means is that markets have been having the right trade on. it's likely to have made money over the last couple of weeks, and we think that now, actually, that we do have a new prime minister in australia, we could aussie squeeze higher -- squeeze higher. anna: we look ahead

and we take some time to discuss australian stocks and we do so with australian economist and author of last year's can we avoid another financial crisis steve king who joins us from amsterdam safe thanks for taking the time to be with us i know some about the a.s.x. the australian stock exchange i guess they change the name it's not called the australian security exchange but tell our viewers about the importance of it to the australian economy and maybe talk about some of the key listed companies on the a.s.x. well the well meaning six of the dominates the six things factor banks and there should be a bit of a warning below anybody who knows there are economic history because of one stage non of the world's ten biggest banks which happen a's it was just before the bursting of that bubble back anon saying you phosphors now. none of the world's top banks and. i think the thing that banks make up things like about being across the hof the entire index then if a bit of the remainder is the minerals possible cause for a strike it does have a fairly substantial nodding industry and does

will they eventually reduce their imports of australian wine? reason why there has been volatility in the listing. in may this year there was tension between australian and asian governments and that has led to a slowdown and customs hold up. always that risk but if you look at what came through from treasury, they have seen an increase of value of 35% of their total numbers going into the china. you can clearly see that the demand for australian products and bridge product is on the up. —— french product. products and bridge product is on the up. -- french product. with that we end of this addition of asia business report. i am rico hizon, sport today is coming up next. this is bbc news. the top stories this hour — italy has declared a 12—month state of emergency in genoa, after the motorway bridge collapse that killed at least 39 people. in afghanistan, there's been a suicide attack at an educational centre near kabul. at least 48 people have been killed, scores of students were injured. rail passengers are facing a rise in the cost of train t

australian politics is — to put it mildly — having a difficult week.s confirmed that he has lost the majority support of his liberal party in parliament. that triggers a leadership contest which he says he will not take part in. he survived a leadership code earlier this week that this seems that one step too farfor this week that this seems that one step too far for him. here this week that this seems that one step too farfor him. here is how the public in canberra feel about the public in canberra feel about the turmoil. no—one knows what's going on. would be good if they just did theirjob they're paid to do, so they should get in there and just govern the country, not stuff around and sort their own stuff out. the reason why a lot of us voted for the liberal party this time is because of malcolm, because of his moderate views, you know, he actually has great ideas about the climate change and different things we want in this country. well, it's just another debacle, really, isn't it? i do not think the liberal party will be in government for much lo

an excuse to tilt the playing field against a chinese firm that's how beijing dismissed the australian government's move to ban chinese owned tech giant huawei from taking part in the rollout of five g. mobile infrastructure. china expressed serious concerns about the australian government's statement on this issue the chinese government has always encouraged the chinese companies to carry out economic co-operation abroad on the basis of respecting international rules and local laws. don't use various excuses to out officially erect barriers and conduct discriminatory practices to the australian government to abandon it illogical prejudices and provide a fair competitive environment for chinese companies one hundred. but chinese lore says citizens and companies must support and this is intelligence work security analysts say there's a risk while ways equipment could be used for. the move was made following advice from his trail years security agencies and signals a hardening of canberra stance towards its biggest trading partner bilateral relations have soured vic kamber as allegations

so they really help set an agenda in australian politics. despite the fa ct australian politics. on outside source, still to come: a bbc investigation into rhino horn poaching in south africa, and how official corruption plays a part. what price convenience? that‘s the question many cash—strapped councils in england are being forced to ask when it comes to providing free public toilets. numbers have been declining for years and now the bbc has learnt that some uk high streets have no council—run loos at all. it‘s become a familiar sight, public toilets no longer in use. in some cases, they‘re being sold off, or transferred to other bodies to run. either way, councils are maintaining fewer of them and saving money. research by the bbc shows that across the uk, councils have stopped running 13% of public toilets over the past eight years. major councils now maintain 4,486. that‘s down from 5,159 in 2010. and in 37 areas, they no longer run any public loos at all. in this former toilet block, you‘ll spend more than a penny. leased from cardiff council, it‘s been reopened as a busine

many australians will look at what's happening in canberra and see the governing liberal party eatingf. these fractures in the liberal party... it would be infuriating to many voters. they just want the government and theirmps, they just want the government and their mps, understandably enough, you would have to say, to get on with the jobs that they are paid to do. malcolm turnbull made it very clear in one of his final press conferences as prime minister, he said australians would be appalled at the behaviour of some liberal party mps, malcolm turnbull also saying that he had been the victim ofan saying that he had been the victim of an internal insurgency carried out by bullies who were intimidating other members of the government. the upshot of all of this, australia has a new prime minister, he is scott morrison, he has a constituency in the south of sydney in australia's biggest city, he is an experienced politician, former immigration minister, more recently the treasurer, so he knows about the big portfolios in the australian government, but he will have, you would have to say

we have had a decade of tamil in australian politics and todayis tamil in australian politics and todayl. why is it so fractious? what are the dynamics here? think it reflects what is happening in democracies in the western world is. party at failing. it has been splitting a stable two—party system. in the previous decade we had to prime ministers and in the last ten yea rs prime ministers and in the last ten years we prime ministers and in the last ten yea rs we have prime ministers and in the last ten years we have had six changes and thatis years we have had six changes and that is an unprecedented period of instability in australian politics and it is driven by this breakdown of the two—party system and the rise of the two—party system and the rise of populist politics and this latest leadership tilt appears to be a manifestation of that populism. let's take a look at some of the day's other news: a british—iranian woman who's been imprionsed in iran for more than two years, has been temporarily released. nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe was sentenced to five years in jail in 2016, after b

mr anning is the sole senator representing katter‘s australian party.der bob katter. this was his first speech to the senate and what he said next sparked global outrage. the final solution to the immigration problem, of course, is a popular vote. senator anning's remarks are appalling. i condemn them and i reject them in their entirety. i have relatives who went through the holocaust. his comment about the final solution to immigration is insensitive, was ignorant, was divisive and was hurtful. but mr anning denies his words were a reference to the holocaust. it was two words, yes. it's up to you if you believe it's an inflammatory comment. party leader bob katter is one of his few supporters. he described mr anning's speech as solid gold. we asa anning's speech as solid gold. we as a race of people, we australians, are being buried by a mass immigration programme. immigration remains a hot topic in australia amid concerns aboutjobs and overcrowding in major cities, even as migration numbers continue to fall. kristina harazim, bbc news. you're watching

before you came to join us, australians are used to this revolving door politics. impactful, what a change of government be for your industry and is that something that you will be watching is a risk? >> for business, what we need is clarity. i think the leader of whatever atter for that party, but for business, as we are making significant investment decisions as we have done with the rail. project, that is a 1.3 billion u.s. dollar investment in australia we need some clarity in terms of policy. it is really important for those long-term investment decisions. if we have that certainty, we can make those decisions and that is good for jobs and growth. haidi: always a pleasure. thanks for spending your time with us. elizabeth gains, the chief executive of fortescue metals. let's get you to the first word news. blackrock said it saw significant second quarter slow down in china's economy. after analyzing a wide range of data. the fund managers a systematic acid equities. investor pullback was more visible. chen says the trade dispute with washington has weighed on s

we're joined australian prime minister, malcolm turnbull. we'rejoined now live from canberra. change. bring us up to date. dramatic start to the day here in canberra and some people have barely eaten breakfast. earlier this week we saw a leadership challenge against the australian prime minister, malcolm turnbull. a vote was held within the liberal party, which is part of the ruling coalition. but the challenge failed. peter dyson, the challenger then resigned and people thought well, thatis resigned and people thought well, that is that. , no. peter dutton has returned from a second straight. he claims he now has numbers behind him and has publicly, in the last hour we re and has publicly, in the last hour were also, then on the steps of parliament saying he wants another vote to be held. however we understand that the prime minister ‘s is no. we understand that the prime minister ‘sis no. we had a understand that the prime minister ‘s is no. we had a vote understand that the prime minister ‘sis no. we had a vote and go away, get on with life. how tenable as that position? ma

there are several memes circulating saying classically robust australian terms that australian politicianspening and what is likely to happen —— the job. is happening and what is likely to happen -- the job. one thing is certain, no one really absolutely knows what's going to unfold in the next few hours. we still expect, it's around 11:10am here, at high noon, dramatically, some people expect a second leadership contest without malcolm turnbull in it. that said, that only gives them about 49 minutes to call that meeting if they're to be on schedule. i guess they could delay a little. some sources suggest there are enough mps in the liberal party who won the second leadership contest. malcolm turnbull already indicating he won't take part if so. therefore we will, by the of today, maybe have a new prime minister. many people saying one way or another malcolm turnbull is toast. but there are so many subplots in this, it's become very complicated, one of them with questions over peter dutton, his main rival‘s eligibility to be in this place, whether he was in breach of the constitution. on t

ok allegations there of bullying of intimidation why are australian part of politics so turbulent. well i suppose it's partly because of israeli and generally pretty cynical about their politicians they're disillusioned with most political parties and that's right what one of the reasons why many prime ministers don't stay in power for their long we've had eight or sort of fall from ministers in the process eighty years one of them sir twice but that's an indication of you know how cynical people are about politicians and how that they simply don't trust them and whether or not you you take malcolm turnbull's word for it a lot you know he's i was thinking from his his own viewpoint there but generally speaking the electorate don't really have much time for either the liberal or labor party roger maynard for us are from sydney today roger thanks for bringing us up to date i grimaced. well mark is here now at the business desk because just a few hours ago the u.s. slapped a twenty five percent tariff on sixteen billion dollars worth of chinese imports and of course it's the second ro

i think a lot of australians regard it as a bit embarrassing as well. ten years, we have had this constant change. is it possible to unpick what is a play in the last decade? there seem to be a couple of things. the first is that the politicians themselves become obsessed with opinion polls in what is admittedly a short parliamentary cycle. the australian parliament only lasts for three years, whereas in the uk it is five. naturally enough, they are focused on opinion polls throughout that period then you might be in the uk. but they have become quite obsessed with opinion polls, and if the party sta rts opinion polls, and if the party starts to fall behind in the polls, the party of government in particular, mps start to look to their own futures and wonder whether changing to another leader might be better. it is also important to say that there has been a lot of deficient in australia over the issue of climate change. in the uk, it is brexit, while in australia, it is climate change. australia has had their comparative advantage with cheap energy, bu

what would that mean for qantas and australian businesses?n: as i said today, businesses are frustrated at what is happening in canberra. they want reliability and .onfidence despite all of that, we are seeing a strong australian economy. it is performing across the board really well and there are good signs the resource sector is rebounding fairly well, which is important for in economy. for that -- an economy. to that to continue, we need bring certainty to corporate tax policy, to make sure we have a tax system comparative to the rest of the world. we need certainty on energy policy and making sure people can invest and know the policy going forward. ist vacuum in canberra concerning the business community. it is frustrating us and we hope that can be quickly resolved and certainty brought back to monetary policy. haidi: japan heading off to lunchtime break. sophie: let's look at what is moving in japan. be fasthe movers would retailing, gaining ground 2.5%. this as the nikkei reporting it plans to double to about 400 stores by 2022. we ha

this reminds us how rough australian politics really is. there is a good reason why they call it the true capital of the democratic world. it is difficult to be a prime minister in australian politics and there is backbiting always going on. —— coup capital. there is a move towards a hardening of some political positions in australia, a move to the right and malcolm turnbull is just too liberal. some say to moderate. i think that tells us something about australian politics. you need to remember that this is a government with a one seat majority so it is in danger of falling for other reasons. but won't credibility be lost? some inside australia and some outsider looking at this and say it is edging towards what we see in italy. there is a problem in the democratic world of the fracturing of political parties and positions. the old consensus where you used to be up to find a centre ground is clearly not holding in many countries and perhaps we will see that australia is about to become the latest victims of that. and maybe a message footer
