malcolm turnbull called the spill. for the positions and as that was as that was successfully carried then the spill motion occurred which is the jew crisis thank you very much for your time. is there no memory no one of the liberal party m.p. just wrapping things up saying that scott morrison has been selected as australia's new prime minister in that leadership challenge after the vote let's cross over live now to kathy novak she is in sydney for us now so no surprises that malcolm turnbull is gone kathy talk us through scott morrison appointment. well yes his victory here is the portion that is a bit of a surprise because when the first leadership ballot was called on tuesday by his rival peter dutton scott morrison didn't even put his hand up until even early yesterday he was still backing malcolm turnbull to remain prime minister of australia and indeed when today's vote was held the first vote was whether to have a vote at all if the people in that room wanted to elect a new prime minister and the vote there was

compared to malcolm turnbull scott morrison would be considered more conservative but throughout this leadership crisis morrison had been standing behind malcolm turnbull his treasurer and he had previously that mars and that is served as immigration minister and you could see that malcolm turnbull was pleased that if he was to lose his job that the person who would be stepping in would be scott morrison so i think those who were backing the challenge from peter dutton would be disappointed today and there really was a split within that party room meeting with forty five supporting scott morrison by the forty voting in favor of peter dutton a saudi led coalition air strike in yemen is a data province has killed at least twenty six civilians including women and children through the media says they were killed in a camp for internally displaced people the u.a.e. says rebels were launching missiles from the. the u.s. president says there would be an economic meltdown if he was removed from office trump was responding to speculation about his potential impeachment prosecution of two forme

malcolm turnbull wanted them verified.d unity in that party room has evaporated. thei: out of all of all results we could get, what are we looking at? is theof the certainties vote will go ahead and malcolm turnbull will go as prime minister. he has also said he will quit parliament. there will be an election not far from where we're sitting on. haidi: that means they lose the majority. >> potentially, yes. that will resent an immediate problem for the successor. the election will be seen as a referendum on all the craziness that has gone on. section 44, constitutional eligibility, yes, but maybe not? >> this question over eligibility to be sitting in parliament in the first place relates to a couple of childcare centers held in a family trust. the solicitor general saying it is impossible to state the position with certainty. that will get hammered by the opposition. haidi: we may be going to the high court for that when. we are minutes away from when this meeting could be called. let's get a quick check of the business f

so malcolm turnbull will probably not...ven today as prime minister. it might take a few months to work out who the successof few months to work out who the successor is and if there is to be a formal race to the leadership and a vote involving peter dutton. how are the australian public feeling, hywel, about the various leadership challenges, they've had a lot of prime ministers recently?” challenges, they've had a lot of prime ministers recently? i think the aussie voters are just as boom yea rs the aussie voters are just as boom years as the rest of the world as to how their politicians behave. if we have a new prime minister pretty soon they will be the sixth within a decade, equalling the turnover rate of somewhere like italy which is famous for the spin cycle of politicians. i think some people would argue that all of the infighting with thing in australian politics is maybe a symptom that the rest of a country can look after itself. it is a country with great economic success. it is a country thatis economic success.

breaking news from australia: scott morrison will be the country's new prime minister after malcolm turnbullorced out by party rivals. mr turnbull had been under pressure and then suffered a revolt by mps. mr morrison, the current treasurer, won an internal ballot 45—40 over former home affairs minister peter dutton. let's get the very latest from sydney and our correspondent, phil mercer. it has been a dramatic week, phil. just tell us more about scott morrison, the new prime minister. well, once upon a time, scott morrison was an immigration minister, more recently he has held the very important treasurer portfolio in the centre—right government of the outgoing prime minister malcolm turnbull. scott morrison has been a keen and loyal supporter of the outgoing pm, so what we expect is this victory of scott morrison will be seen as a victory for the more moderate part of the centre—right coalition, given that his challenger, peter dutton, was the candidate that the conservatives wanted to challenge for the leadership. sorry to interrupt you. we want to come back to you in a moment. first, ma

malcolm turnbull faces another leadership challenge.e frontline of a global trade war, us and chinese officials sit down to try and resolve their differences. live from our studios in singapore and london, this is bbc world news. it's newsday. it's 7am in singapore, midnight in london and 7pm in washington where president trump has hit back at claims that he ordered his former personal laywer micheal cohen to break us campaign laws during the 2016 election. michael cohen pleaded guilty yesterday to charges which include paying hush money to women who claim they had affairs with mr trump, saying it was trump who directed him to pay them. our north america editorjon sopel is at the white house. like an episode of 2a, a blockbuster drama played out in a most momentous five minutes that could shake this tumultuous presidency. at a courthouse in new york, donald trump's long—term lawyer and mr fixit, michael cohen, pleads guilty to a series of crimes and implicates the president. 200 miles south in another federal courtroom, his one—time cam

to really solidify his position what we started seeing was a number of malcolm turnbull's ministers resigning and it was quite clear that his leadership really still was in tatters so peter dutton came back saying this time he thought he did have the numbers if they went back for a leadership vote malcolm turnbull demanded that peter dutton present him with a petition showing that he had the support of the majority of the party to go ahead and have a vote for a new leader peter dutton produced that petition so when the vote was actually held malcolm turnbull stepped aside he wasn't a candidate in the ultimate leadership vote that was held between three people peter dutton the former foreign minister julie bishop and the man who surprisingly emerged victorious scott morrison he had been treasurer under the prime minister malcolm turnbull and had until this point been standing behind turnbull to remain in that position but because he stood aside when he was faced with another challenge by peter dutton this time around scott morrison decided to run and won the as you say malcolm turnbu

malcolm turnbull already indicating he won't take part if so.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 that question, he's been more less clear by the legal advice published this morning, saying he's probably ok to be in parliament, his business interests aren't in conflict with his political ones. malcolm turnbull has been manoeuvring to get his anointed successor in place, what's happening with that? yeah, so give malcolm turnbull, as expected, stands aside, it's a three horse race. peter dutton, who i mentioned there, his main rival is scott morrison, the treasurer. he's also from the right wing of the party, not a moderate like malcolm turnbull, but maybe something more than acceptable face and maybe something more of a successor that malcolm turnbull would want rather than the man who

s in the ruling liberal party he's replaced malcolm turnbull who'd been the job for less than three minutes turnbull had survived a leadership challenge as recently as tuesday in the last few minutes he addressed the media. it is a challenging time to be prime minister but i'm very proud of our record i'm very proud of my government ministers record in achievement so i want to thank them i want to thank all my colleagues i want to thank my stuff. a saudi led coalition air strike in yemen said data province has killed at least twenty six civilians including women and children who feel media says they were killed near a camp for internally displaced people the u.a.e. says rebels were known to missiles from the area the us president says there would be an economic meltdown of he was removed from office trump was responding to speculation about his potential impeachment after the prosecution of two top former aides is long time person and lawyer michael cohen has implicated him in breaking campaign finance rules. i don't know how you can impeach somebody who's done a great job. i'll tell you wh

scott morrison was a trusted ally of the former pm malcolm turnbull.understand that not only is he no longer prime minister, he is expected to resign from parliament as well. so that will spark a by—election and all sorts of problems for the new prime minister too. so this is the culmination of an extraordinary week in australian politics, but one has the sense that the drama is far from over. the governing party i know has been trailing the opposition in the polls for some time. the signs are that people don't like this very much. and i guess the liberal party might pay the penalty. many australians will look at what's happening in canberra and see the governing liberal party eating itself. 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 a

malcolm turnbull winning that leadership vote. let's get you caught up with first word news with jessica summers from new york. jessica: president trump has said to have complained that they chairman jay powell has not been the policymaker he expected. the fed has height five time since the president took office, including twice this year. he criticized powell saying he was not thrilled with rate increases. blackrock says it saw significant second-quarter slowdown in china's economy after analyzing a wide range of data. the fund managers cam -- cios told bloomberg the pullback was more visible in alternative data dan the government's official pmi rating. send a trade dispute has played on sentiment but the dead enough shows stabilization. but maybe the conclusion here is that overall fundamentals seem to be not bad. slowing down a bit, but not that bad. for domestic chinese companies in the second quarter or how global companies think about china. jessica: the yuan strengthen for a third day in a row, rising to on thehest in a wee

. —— malcolm turnbull seems to be favouring.griffith. and another big political story. president trump has now acknowledged that hush money was provided before his 2016 election for two women claiming they'd had affairs with him. but contradicting tuesday's sworn testimony from his former personal lawyer, michael cohen, he's now claimed the pay—out was made with his own money — that election campaign finance was not, illegally, used. he's previously insisted he knew nothing about the payments. the president's been speaking to fox news. did they come out of the campaign? they didn't come out of the campaign, they came from me. i tweeted about it. i don't know if you know but i tweeted about the payments. but they didn't come out of campaign. in fact, my first question when i heard about it was, "did they come out of the campaign?" because that could be a little dicey. well michael cohen's own lawyer has been in tv studios declaring his client is "more than happy" to "tell everything about donald trump that he knows" to robert mue

that midday party meeting in congress a live pictures there of the strain in prime minister malcolm turnbull in canberra well as you just heard turnbull's facing that challenge from the former immigration minister peter dutton this is what he's been saying as i put it to my wife started earlier early this morning i called the other prime minister to avoid it it was my judgment that the majority of the party would no longer support his leadership as such i asked him to convene a meeting of the liberal party at which i would challenge for the leadership of the parliamentary liberal party thank you very much. will have turned bill does step aside or is voted out it'll be the fourth time that a sitting australian prime minister has been overthrown since two thousand and ten former prime minister and labor leader kevin rudd was replaced by his deputy july just months before the twenty ten election will rudd retake the leadership from dillard in june twenty third teen but his party was then beat in that year's election by the liberals led by tony abbott but he lost the leadership of his party to m

a surprise in so far as the treasurer scott morrison was not the man who initially challenge malcolm turnbull for the job of prime minister earlier in the week as you mentioned there had been another leadership vote and it was another one of turnbull's ministers peter dutton who challenge him for the job of prime minister he lost that initial vote but then said later in the week that he believed he had the numbers to force another vote in this time he thought he could win well malcolm turnbull said if you do have those numbers present me with a petition showing that the majority of the ruling liberal party does want to have another vote for the leadership position peter dutton did present that petition but when it came to the vote malcolm turnbull this time stood aside and it became a contest between three people and it was the treasurer scott morrison who ok cathy let me just let me just interrupt you there briefly because the outgoing prime minister malcolm turnbull that is just speaking to the media let's just listen to what he had to receive government as a progressive liberal call this a

so malcolm turnbull's reign as australia's prime minister looks to be almost over members of his ruling party have gone that enough support for a vote to replace him as leader of the party and of the country second such challenge we've seen since choose day. and do bear in mind turnbull earlier said he would be willing to step down if his colleagues collect enough signatures to trigger another leadership vote this is what he tweeted will probably about twenty minutes ago now i've just been provided with a request for a meeting of the parliament treat liberal party his own party i had has forty three signatures as soon as they verified by the with so it shouldn't take long that meeting will be called it's let us check in with kathy novak in sydney high noon it is in australia on the east coast and once the vote happens what will just take us through the whole process i guess kathy. well this really is the climax of this leadership crisis that has been brewing here in australia and malcolm turnbull's colleagues will gather to effectively elect his replacement as you mentioned this is the

malcolm turnbull is out. scott morrison is in. in sydney with analysis. a very busy day so far. and this counts toward elections in may next year. the liberaloks like party may be able to buy themselves some time. populistought if the right-wing candidate had won the party room vote, it would have to go to an election immediately. or scottontender, morrison were the person that the people voted for. but you hear from scott morrison there, touting the australian theme of being given a fair go. lack of wage growth and housing affordability has been a major issue for voters. also talking about immigration. scott morrison was a foreign immigration minister who was strident in his views on the. we will follow as he sets out his policy agenda. he will be at government house and become the 30th prime minister of australia. in terms of the portfolio allocations, that will probably come next week or even later after that. elected liberal party deputy leader, there are reports he will be getting the treasurer job now that scott morrison will become the new prime mi
