now, having power in the hands of this parliament doesn't put into the hands of this parliament a magic wand. tough decisions have to be taken. but we at least know we'll be taking these decisions with our priorities uppermost in our agenda. so i hope, i'm not expecting to get agreement today on this from the conservatives, but i do hope in the not too distant future, we can form an alliance with scottish labor and others in this chamber to say that welfare powers, the decisions over support for the most vulnerable in our society should not be in the hands of a majority tory government in scotland. they should be in the hands of the democratic elected parliament and government of scotland. >> i congratulate nicola sturgeon on her party's victory. we have lessons to learn which we are absolutely determined to to to -- a job to do every single day of the week. mental health services falling short, unemployment on the rise, things going on for months on end, yet this first minister spends parliamentary time with a snp party statement that tells us absolutely nothing -- presiding officer or

party in the european parliament. that is not proportional representation where minorities are represented. in a first past the post system hike in the united states it's difficult. and you gip polled about 13% -- ukip polled about 13% of the vote going into the election. amazingly, it held on. supporters were loyal. they didn't flood back to the party from which most came. they were loyal to ukip giving it a 13% vote, around 4 million people. it's a major force, and that is 4.3 times larger than it was at the last general election. ukip is growing, and particularly under nigel farage, and will be a major force to deal with on immigration, it's a nondiscriminatory immigration policy, with the only provinceo being that you speak english, and no one comes in without someone leaving, one out, and there's space for one to come in. immigration, the major parties misled the british public about the level of immigration. i mean something like 10 times what they said it would be. the british people are upset because it's obvi

let's go to lawrence lee outside parliament.ell us what kind of mud they have been throwing around. >> reporter: it's extraordinary, lauren the questions are being raised about the nature of democracy frankly. remember how it is supposed to work here. 650 parliamentary seats in the house of commons, if a party wants to form a government it has to get a majority. that 326 seats in parliament and then they can go to the queen and say we want to form a government and she says fine off you go. but that's why the scottish national party has become such a problem for the prime minister david cameron, because they have had such a successful campaign. none of the two big parties can form a coalition government without their support. and david cameron doesn't want that to happen because they want independence. he and his supporters have now come close to suggesting that the threat from the scottish nationalist is such that the future of the united kingdom that it would be better to exclude them from power even if it might mean a minority

. >> britain just isn't used to hung parliaments. in fact, if this is a hung parliament, which we can assume lit be, this is only the second time in 183 years that we have had two hung parliaments in succession. and the voting system here, first part isn't equipped to deliver coalition governments. we are just not in the british psyche. until 2010, the public were -- i think it is safe to say scared of what a coalition would bring. knew they would still prefer one party, that is still dug into the british psyche, and i think the conservatives and the liberal democrats have shown that it can work. >> we will be crossing live to you throughout the evening. just to repeat those figures again, the conservatives with 316 seats. if you think the most recent opinion polls actually have labor 1% point ahead of the conservatives well these figures don't look very good. the labor with nine seats forgive me, ten seats and that would mean that another coalition between the conservatives and the liberal democrats would be possible. so far then lo

protesters tried to storm the parliament. they never answered requests for interviews. >> the protests is about teacher's pensions. it symbolizes wider issues. austerity is necessary, and not all suggests that they are. these people say that teachers should not be the main target. >> they have been an strike for six weeks, affecting 1 million pupils and in four other states. it's part of an opposition for the deposit. not just over austerity, but over corruption and what many perceive as a loss of direction. >> reviewing the situation in which there is a gap in dialogue between civil servants and the government. some of these teachers take the complaints to the national government in the capital. their argument that without motivated teachers and well-founded schools, the future is bleak >>> in our global view segment, we look at how news outlets react to various event.

many are predicting a hung parliament which could mean days of horse trading. let's go to laurence lee. sir laurence, what are the candidates doing the last few hours of polling day? >> it's pretty much all over. we've had a sense at the end of this campaign how little appetite the traditional parties have trying to entertain some of the new parties which have supposedly enlivened this whole electoral cycle particularly the scottish nationalists. it's been clear for some time that scotland holds the key to this. they've had a meteoric campaign, and they'll be the third largest party here and will hold the balance of power. right at the end of this election campaign the conservative party with prime minister david cameron will suggest that it would pose such a threat to the stability of the u.k. it would be better to exclude them from parliament even if that meant a minority rather than a majority government here in westminster. >> north london, very wealthy and liberal. they're trying to hold on to the constituency. but in this new era of coalition politics man

leaders come of the most unlikely outcome is that hung parliament -- the most likely is hung parliament. that means even when the polls close and the votes are counted through the night or into friday morning, no outcome -- no clear outcome could be decided for weeks. genie: you have been talking to voters at that polling booth where you are. what have they been saying about the election? luke: the dominant theme that keeps coming back when you speak to the you have been talking to voters at that polling booth where you voters, issues such as the economy. it really chimes in with what the big parties have been talking about. some say they want the tories to keep going. other people complain the tories have not been sufficiently sharing of the wealth that has been created at the top. that is chiming in with the labor policies. the other issues, immigration which has pushed the u.k. party up in the polls. other questions such as europe.

parliament. and parties have to team up with one another to do a deal. >> all of the indications is that none of the parties will get a clear majority on voting day here. so the question is: who decides who wins? under the rules, at a party that gets the most seats that is first crack at foorming coalition. forming a coalition. but talks can go on for a week or more. labor on higher taxes on the ritual to fund affordable housing, but many fail to capture voters hearts. u comfortip antieuropean union antiimmigration union is set to steal votes. capturing up to 59 seats in britain 650 seat parliament. labor's ed milliband needs them to become a coalition prime minister. >> you have a political party scottish nationalist party which could be in a position in 72 hours time where it's bargaining to become a member of the coalition government yet it disagrees in principle with the united kingdom. >> ahmed hamed says one government seems like the next. >> they don't have a really strong item about what

it is a huge privilege to be a member of parliament. it is a huge privilege for you to have placed your trust in me. anna: ed miliband, the later of the labour party. he is talking about the need to hold the united kingdom together. let's go live to elliott gotkine. where does labor go from here? al: that -- elliott: that is a very intriguing question. you would assume that if there is any attempt to have another referendum that he would fall into line with the conservative party and others in trying to ensure that the union stays together. one should note that traditionally, the labour party has been less inclined to defend a straight its leaders -- defen estrate its leaders than the conservatives. what ed miliband was saying, was we haven't made headway in england and wales. if the scottish nationalists managed to embed themselves north of the border, these low hanging fruit of seats that labor could always rely on to help them get a majority in the house of parliament, if they can't rely on that, they have to get bigger in england an

we did have a parliament act which came in in the last parliament. we have a fixed five year parliament but people are having to go to the cabinet secretary and say what do we do? i think we could have a minority government and i think we're all looking in the dark here. >> we are and let's bring in an expert. the founder and chairman. good morning to you too. lovely to be with you. will david cameron be disappointed with his campaign so far. >> he's run a campaign that's kept him in the game and he'll probably go fast the winning post faster than miliband. >> if i may disagree i'm not sure that's the case. we had him say i'm not going to stand for more than five years and that took the fire out of his belly. to be fair he and mr. miliband struggled to put fire in his own belly. >> i don't think the public is enthused about this election and that's probably transferred itself to politicians. you only see the national picture. you don't see the marginals in the way too people do. most of the activity takes place in the marginals. that's where all the

conservatives expected to be the largest party, this is in the parliament with 650 seats. the left labor party, two unh 39, and a bad night for the liberal democrats they are the ones that have been in coalition with the conservatives for five years expected to lose a great number of seats down to just 10. but, if you are in scotland and you support the national party, good night for you so far, predicted to be anyway a unmanning hoo increase to 58 seats. there are some others as well and they may well play a part a little bit later on. there in that block the other one they could combine some of them with the conservatives only 323 not 326, because some mps stay out of the parliament. liberal democrats add that to 326, more than enough, but the labor party annihilated in scotland, that's just a few thoughts let's go to barbara in just a moment. up in the scottish city glasgow. let's get it wrapped up so far the exitle polling stationses suggest that david cameron will perhaps once again be prime minister. he is not predicted to have an absolutely majority, but if the libe

the final results are nearly in and conservative party is predicted to win over all majority in parliament the smaller party like the uk independence party and scottish nationalists taken votes away from conservatives and labor and let's look at the latest results coming in conservatives took 319 seats so far, that is a gain of 21 seats and predicted to be the largest single party with a 329 seats, that is an absolute majority the labor carty currently have 228 seats, that is down by 26. they are projected to end up with 233 seats in parliament and that is largely because the scottish national party have all but wiped out labor in scotland and have 56 out of 59 possible seats and the liberal democrats had a disaster night and 8 seats down by 46 and simon mc-greger woods has the latest. >> reporter: returning to number ten street on friday david cameron looks certain to keep his job as prime minister and conservative party will have the most seats maybe even a small majority. >> i want my party and i hope a government i would like to lead to reclaim a mantle that we should never have lost t

we will have further elections in scotland next year for the scottish parliament.t will be interesting to see if another referendum on independence is on the table but also of course there is david cameron's own commitment to have a referendum in 2017, with the possibility of britain leaving the european union. so you could have written leaving the european union scotland leaving the united kingdom. it is quite an extraordinary picture. anchor: gavin was in glasgow. this sent shockwaves around the kingdom and all parties and regions. as they woke up to the news british voters were amused. jon kay assessed the mood. jon: edinburgh, 6:00 a.m., taking in the news on the way to work. >> the results in scotland. >> the tories, labor away. jon: you have the tories and government in london. for many commuters, the story was labor losses more than snp gains. >> one after the other. i was shocked. >> they will come back and labor will win. jon: we also have a train to catch, heading towards westminster. passengers like stewart and melanie are stunned. we cross into the nort

party in the european parliament. i wasn't disappointed actually, the vote held up. we were only polling 13% and that's what delivered. so i'm greatly encouraged that the supporters of ukipp are extremely loyal. they didn't hemorrhage to the conservative party, this is the thatcherrite wing, it didn't go back home it stayed in ukipp. i think for future it is going to spell a very strong ukipp party. i hope the party is sensible to select nigel fa rfersa rvetion goodefarrage, withouthim we are doomed. >> thank you. >> before the attack saudi planes dropped leaf lets, the attacks focused on houthi command centers. hamp response to houthi shelling of saudi's frontier towns earl yers this week. meantime kennel saudi arabia says it will temporarily halt air strikes on the houthis tonight, announcing the five day ceasefire friday in paris along u.s. secretary of state john kerry, could be extended if the houthi rebels stop their advances in yemen. >> the ceasefire will end should the houthis or their allies not live up to t

this was more than assault on members of parliament. it was an assault on the very foundations of our democracy honorable members. [ applause ] parliament's constitutional obligation to fearlessly scrutinize and oversee the executive lost all meaning on thursday night. in fact, the brute force of the state won and the hearts of our nation was broken. [ speaking in foreign language ] when you at that very moment, that our democratic order was in grave danger but here's the question. what did you do, mr. president? you laughed. you laughed while the people of south africa cried for their beloved country. you laughed while trampling mandela's legacy in the very week that we celebrated 25 years of his release. honorable president, we will never, ever forgive you for what you did on that day. >> in our presence here today honorable president -- >> we've seen that already. all right. good. so that's done, then. frans cronje is the ce oechlt of south african institute of relations. the institute was established in 1929 and is a research and po

he has been a member of parliament since 2010, he was the shadow chancellor and has been under labour. we are listening to the numbers. the tories have gained, and bowled bolls has lost his seat in the house of commons. guy: a real surprise for many. a real blow to the labour party. putting this central team of has run in the labour party campaign in doubt at the moment. people questioning ed miliband's leadership. anna: we probably want to hear from ed balls. david perhaps we could come to you and think about the way that the labour party approach the business community. was this something -- was this an election that you thought the labour party was speaking a language people in your position understood? david: on one hand they had a populous town. --tone. this is quite brilliant election strategy from the conservatives. i do not believe a labour government would have been antibusiness. the tories managed to build up a possibility of a labour government as a bogeyman. anna: the snp managed to paint labour as tory light. david: indeed. the closest overlap was the conservatives and th

to understand one seat in 120 seat parliament and it requires one member of parliament from coalition parties to lead the coalition. the government faces disill use once again. certainly it is an unworkable coalition that binyamin netanyahu manages to get together. one must remember that an important member of his coalition, of the kalarnu party stated that he did not want to be in a coalition with a narrow majority and would stick to his coalition deal but partners within the coalition are unhappy, some speculating that this is temporary, within a matter of weeks, if not months there'll be an invitation to other parties to join the coalition to attempt to make a stronger government. however, that is something that we will see in the days weeks, months ahead, as long as the government remains in place. >>> voting is underway in the u.k. general election. what could be the country's tightest political race in years. if neither of the two major parties win more than half of the 650 seats in parliament they may need to negotiate with smaller parties to form a majority. after the last ele

party currently has 228 seats and that is down by 26 projected to end the day with 233 places in parliamentat is largely because the scottish national party have all but wiped out neighboring scotland and have taken 56 out of 59 possible seats. and liberal democrats had a disaster night and down 8 sights or at 8 seats and down by 46 and in a minute we will hear from them and have the latest on the uk independence party leader who failed to get elected and more on the landslide scottish national victory in scotland from barnabie but first lawrence lee is live for us in london so lawrence we are getting to the point i guess where we start to hear the victory and the resignation speeches. take us forward. >> yes, that's right. and frankly i don't think the conservative party in their wildest, most fevered dreams could possibly have imagined that things would go this well for them. this time yesterday there was absolutely no indication whatsoever by anybody that there would be an outright majority for any single party and there were assumptions of weeks of tortured negotiations to try to shackl

. >> crucially he has that majority in parliament and none of the opinion polls guessed that he would get. but the irony is, right now he needed 326 members of parliament he has 330 not that big a majority at all especially when you compare it to the majority that tony blare had when he first won the election in 1997, that's more than 170 seats and more than 160 again when he would be in 2001. so it's going to be quite a challenging time for mr. cameron, and the most challenging the referendum he promised in and out membership of the european union something of course was a key part of uc impp's managed to get 4 million votes many of those votes taken from the conservatives. so that would be a challenge for the prime minister and quite a worry for the rest of europe as well considering what a key role the united kingdom plays within the european union that along with other challenges ahead for mr. cameron, how he keeps his party united and many of his back benchers. if he is going to keep his majority in parliament. >> two car bombs have exploded in northern iraq, killing at least 17

the confidence of parliament as it's known the body can then go to the queen. says fine, off you go. that's how it's supposed to work. but in that the scottish natural national party is proving to be a thorn in the side of david cameron and his supporters in the conservative party. they have such an extraordinary and successful campaign that it looks inevitably as if it will hold the balance of power and none of the other parties will be able to form a government without their support and david cameron seems close to implying that the threat of the secessionist party in westminster may be such that the public may want to consider a minority government rather than a majority one if that majority involve the scottish nationalists. north london very wealthy and liberal. they're trying to hold on to the constituency. but in this era some labor supporters don't like the idea of their party doing deals with those who would chop down the united kingdom. >> would you vote labor if they didn't have to get the support of the scottish nationalists. >> yes definitely. >> b

. >> barbara sarah is outside of the house of parliament.tish politician medium sized democracy, keeps his job. you would think nothing has changed. but nothing could be further from the truth, could it? >> reporter: well on the face of it he is still the prime minister. in a way even a lot of the confirmation of the cabinet roles stay the same. so even when it comes to the cabinet nothing really seems different. but even though mr. cameron now has a majority government and he can form a government without a coalition, he doesn't have as big of majority as he did five years ago when he was in coalition with the liberal democrats. it's a handful of votes really dependent on the fact that he is going to have to keep all of his back benchers on side so that is one difference. the other great difference of course as lawrence lee was mentioning in his report is the great surge that we have seen of the smp. now 56 seats here in westminster, and all but three seats in the whole of scotland so mr. cameron has been quick to say he is the prime minist

the next parliament act makes having another election collocated -- mixed parliament act makes having another election complicated. the obvious way it would probably happen is if labour and the tories got together and said this is not working, we need another election. guest: it may be possible after a period of time that this would happen, people would say we are going nowhere in this parliament, which we weren't. people were kicking their feet around the place. i would have advocated had this result been reversed tonight a very different type of politics, where we reached out to people we engaged, we spoke to people who had not voted for us, we try to --tried to win what ed miliband called a one nation approach. it may not be possible to do that, but i do think if the conservatives go in for the kind of thing they were predicting this week, which is change the boundaries, stop people from outside england voting on key bills, in other words, fix the system for your party, i hope there will be a majority against that in the house of commons. anchor: do you think these figures, if they
