who challenged him or her well in this case this started earlier in the week with another man peter dutton who had challenge malcolm turnbull for a leadership vote and in that case on tuesday lost but because of that vote in the margin was not strong enough for malcolm turnbull 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 mini

malcolm turnbull doesn't probably wants peter dutton, the man who has already challenged him wants toalternate candidate. by the minute we've seen resignations from cabinet ministers who have told malcolm turnbull he no longer have their support. so malcolm turnbull will probably not... well, he won't end this month, maybe not even 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

successful candidate was scott morrison and he won this vote by forty five votes to forty four peter dutton in relation to the deputy's position this was one in a overwhelming sense in a majority an absolute majority by josh frydenberg. and all that with this speech is what was said to him we followed the do precision of the liberal party and that's how the ballots and the process was conducted. 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 d

the parliament effectively the government itself would have to refer to one of its own members peter dutton the challenger for the leadership to the high court for a decision a process which will probably take weeks and maybe even longer so really what you heard there from the compound was a deliberate effort to i'm to cut peter dutton client to challenge him by by alerting people to the fact that the tonight have a constitutionality problem so it was a clear cut effort with with that but also with his comment that what doesn't move effectively that he didn't wind up in this context but he said that this was an effort by a minority to bully the government move it to move further to the right so he was doing a pretty good job of trying to spike the challenge. donald trump's former lawyer who on tuesday implicated the u.s. president in campaign violations now says he's happy to help with robert muller's investigation into alleged collusion between the trump campaign and russia and the galaxy reports. he once said he'd take a bullet to donald trump now michael cohen is offering to help an inve

peter dutton has returned for a second attempt.numbers behind him and has publicly, in the last hour or so, been on the steps of parliament saying he wants another vote to be held. however we understand that the prime minister's answer is no. "we had a vote and go away, get on with life". how tenable as that position? malcolm turnbull clearly wounded and pretty much just holding on by his fingernails to hisjob. i can imagine him saying that dutton had his chance. as you are just saying, a number of resignations within the last 2a hours or so. how likely is it that he will be able to ride this out? if he survives today it will be quite something. if he survives the next few months it will be incredible because the ruling party now have a situation where they have a wounded prime minister who has been publicly challenged by his own party. that challenger has lost a vote. if it comes to a second vote he may not win. people are talking maybe about a third person having to come in and to front the party for an election within the next 1

his preferred candidate, peter dutton, didn't claim top job, preferred candidate, peter dutton, didn't see how scott morrison deals with these characters. today we've seen peter dutton, the man who had failed leadership challenge last week, he has his old job back as home affairs minister, albeit with fewer powers. some people suggesting tony abbott may now be brought into the cabinet ina minor may now be brought into the cabinet in a minor role, but maybe as a way of keeping your enemies closer. scott morrison would have some control over them if they are not on the backbenches. an interesting story there, and continuing to develop. thanks for joining us there. the vatican says more than 300,000 people attended an open air mass led by pope francis on the second day of his visit to ireland. addressing worshippers he begged for forgiveness from god for what he called the ‘open wound' of sexual and institutional abuse uncovered in the church. our religion editor, martin bashir, reports. at a shrine where 15 people believed they witnessed an apparition of the virgin mary, a man said by th

and he won this fight by forty five votes to forty four peter dutton. welcome on this let's cross live to kathy novak in sydney kathy says scott morrison is now australia's new prime minister how much of a surprise was it that he won the leadership race somewhat more do we know about him . well on one hand it has become not on common to see changes of leadership and prime ministers losing their jobs after votes by their own party but on the other hand it was 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 libera

if we go with peter dutton, if the mps in canberra decide that is the best way to go, peter dutton hasising immigration policies and one of the conservative members of the government is one would expect that under his government, australia could lean to the right. australians, as we say, will no doubt have their say on all of this at the next general election due around may next year be given the upheaval we could see an early election. as with all these things, it is up in the error at the moment and no doubt details of this story will continue to filter region over the next few hours. —— filter in. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: guilty — the gang who posed as rich businessmen, hired a privatejet and a rolls royce to smuggle more than $50 million of cocaine into britain. he's the first african american to win the presidential nomination of a major party, and he accepts exactly 45 years ago to the day that martin luther king declared i have a dream. as darkness falls tonight, an unfamiliar light will appear in the south—eastern sky. an orange glowing disk that is brighter tha

morrison, the current treasurer, won an internal ballot 45—40 over former home affairs minister peter duttonget 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, malcolm turnbull is addressing the press. you know the foundation of everything you do in government is a strong economy and we have delivered, as we promised, jobs and growth — you may have heard that before. we've got

as leader a short time ago in a ceremony at government house in cambra he defeated challenger peter dutton who was the driving force behind a move to oust turmel. we have a lot of challenges as a country and we will get through them as we always have together now our job particularly for josh and i as we take forward this new miracle of leadership as a new generation is to ensure that we not only bring our party back together which has been bruised and battered this week but that will enable us to ensure we bring the parliament back together that we can continue to work to ensure that our country stays close together saudi arabia is reportedly seeking eleven billion dollars in international bank loans to fill a shortfall left by the persuasion listing of its state all company around co a report by the financial times says riyadh is shifting its focus to other forms of financing to share sales and around code been expected to raise about one hundred billion dollars far less than the two trillion originally hoped for south africa has summoned the top u.s. diplomat there to criticize presiden

scott morrison is australia's new prime minister, defeating peter dutton, the former home affairs minister45 votes to 40, and is it enough of a home affairs minister by 45 votes to 40, and is it enough ofa margin home affairs minister by 45 votes to 40, and is it enough of a margin to guarantee scott morrison will preside over a unified party going into that election? the evidence of this week would suggest that scott morrison will have his work cut out to reunite a fractured party. scott morrison was a trusted ally of the former pm malcolm turnbull. we 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 l

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 has killed at least twenty six civilians mostly children who the media says they were killed at a camp for internally displaced people in the province of her data the u.a.e. says rebels are launching missiles from the area whole tradition reports. civilians once again have been the targets of saudi led coalition jets in yemen. iranian backed rebels say at least thirty one people including women and children were killed in an attack on their convoy in the western province of what data dead children and women are disgusting crime and the victims were trying to escape a camp in el couey which the coalition says was being used to launch missiles. they hit this while we were on the road this little boy was spared unlike the forty four children killed two weeks ago in another s

them were not rewarded it was not their man who ended up coming out victorious that of course was peter dutton who initially lodged a challenge for the position of prime minister earlier in the week he failed at that attempt on tuesday and once again failed today and kathy for those of us who are not used to the rough and tumble of a strain in politics it's worth pointing out isn't it that in the last ten years or so no australian prime minister has complete the food term in office i mean oldness trillions must be tired of all this revolving door politics. frankly they are this is not something that australians like to see you have to go back to two thousand and seven when the liberal prime minister john howard was empowered to see a prime minister that served a full term john howard actually served several terms but when the labor leader kevin rudd beat him in a federal election ever since then the prime minister hasn't served out a full term without a challenge from a member of his or her own party this is a parliamentary democracy that means that the people when they go to a general electio

vote between three candidates including the man who originally challenge him on tuesday that's peter dutton he's a member of the more conservative side of the ruling liberal party also in the ring is the treasurer scott morrison and the foreign minister julie bishop she's been the deputy liberal leader for more than a decade this is now the first time that she is putting her hand up to run for the top job so we're expecting that once that meeting gets underway the vote should not actually take too long and perhaps within the next hour we should know who has been selected by the ruling liberal party to be sworn in as the next prime minister of australia kathy can you tell us about the public feeling in australia about this it is this curious situation they find themselves in again where very are not choosing their own leader it is as they like to call it beverley to ship spilled. indeed well the system here is that the public when it goes to a general election elects the party not the prime minister and it's the party that actually appoints a leader to the top job but this sort of leadership

installed and that's when we saw an earlier leadership challenge on tuesday from a former minister peter dutton that was an exxon ix successful challenge but today petered out and came back and said this time he didn't have the numbers and he wanted to see another vote but then surprisingly it was the treasurer and former immigration minister scott morrison who emerged from that party room vote victorious he had been up until that time supporting malcolm turnbull to stay in his position but when malcolm turnbull said he would not contest the leadership again scott morrison stepped up and went on to win so now as we heard him say there his task really is bringing unity to this fractured party and straightly and really don't like to see these constant changes at the top and addressing australians he says amid all this talk of whose side people are on he wants them to know that he is on the side of a stray leigh and all right kathy novak reporting from sydney. malcolm turnbull is the fourth sitting australian prime minister to be thrown out of office since two thousand and ten just before that yea

peter dutton stood against him in that ballot.uite keep up with some of these headlines but it seems like the prime minister lives to fight another day. michael: he does, but it will only be another day, i think. we've seen this playbook numerous times in australia over the past 10 years. these things tend to gain momentum of their own. , butay have survived this the step is once taken when someone challenges, unless they are soundly defeated, these things tend to build. unless malcolm turnbull can change course and somehow placate the rebels within his party, he looks to be in really deep trouble. since 2007, we haven't had a prime minister complete a full term since they were elected. it's just an ordinary situation here. the australian has barely reacted to the whole thing. everyone has sort of seen this scenario before. yvonne: what is going to be turnbull's priority now? there's a lot of talk about the energy policy which is led to a lot of controversy with the other party members. when it comes to the huge task of closing th

there has ready been a challenge this week from peter dutton.colm turnbull accepting the inevitable but not going out without a fight. this looks like australia heading for a six prime minister in a decade. it does at a real mess. i imagine the general public are getting very tired of this situation. australia is well used to culling is prime ministers. you have to wonder what voters in australia and the rest of the world really make of this. you have a country which is at the moment suffering drought in large swathes of it, farmers desperate for support and relief. people at asking for education and tax reform. but none of that will happen the next 48 hours. if nothing happens tomorrow, probably nothing will happen in two weeks. there is a recess. if this doesn't happen tomorrow, it is something that they might have to do again in two weeks. in carries on successfully. it has not been recession for over a quarter of a century. some could argue that they are focusing on infighting because they don't have big battles to deal with. thank you forjo

the interesting appointment is peter dutton, for anyone who has been following this, they would do itenging the leadership of former prime minister malcolm turnbull but not getting is the top job. instead of pushing him to the backbenchers and potentially given rise to more instability, he decided to keep in the cabinet. it does not mean that the cabinet. it does not mean that the turmoil is over. scott morrison thought he was going to have a bit ofa thought he was going to have a bit of a honeymoon but the latest newspoll suggests he has a huge task ahead. each is the coalition has fallen behind labour even further, there is now a 12% gap between labour as a first choice in the election and the liberal party coalition. critics are saying that the bigger issue is that an election is always just around the corner. members of parliament never seemed focused on their doctor they seem rather forever focus on their electoral life. is that a fair statement at what has happened to the national interest when things like a drought is threatening the survival of farmers? a lot of people discuss

party meeting will be at midday tomorrow that's friday on the eligibility of the main challenger peter dutton to sit in the parliament he said if he doesn't have the support of the party then he would not run in the ballot thereby effectively resigning but that's all for tomorrow of course when we have 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 out my wife's statement earlier early this morning i called out the prime minister to advise him that it was my judgment that the majority of the party would no longer support his .

turnbull narrowly survived that vote against peter dutton. been going around trying to garner support. he has been trying to get enough support to take another go later today. tweeted saying he asked the prime minister to hold another party room meeting today to hold the second vote. prime minister turnbull has refused to convene the meeting at this point because it looks like he does not have enough votes. it looked like he had nine signatures on this petition to call for the leadership vote. that has ridden to 23. it is looking very tenuous for malcolm turnbull. if he manages to survive, he gets a rest by for the next two weeks or so. break untilill september 10. it is looking like a long day ahead for the prime minister. tonne: the economy continues chug along despite the political drama. haidi: as you know, this has been called the lucky country. there is an argument that a lot been dueic success has to the good fortune as opposed to good policymaking or good management. to benefitas managed from the rise of china and the corresponding de

also took more legal shenanigans when the solicitor general had to give his advice on whether peter dutton was a liberty to sit in parliament that was turmel as a main rival and then that was also to allow in the leadership spill went ahead just before lunch and. it was a three way race between peter dugan scott morrison and julie bishop as the foreign affairs minister julie bishop didn't make the the first round of the ballot and she she had to withdraw after the first round and left it between scott morrison and peter dunne and scott morrison won the day about forty five votes to forty a lot of big margin you have to say it isn't a slim margin of course or yeah it is the margin what can you tell us about our scott morrison australia's new prime minister where does he want to take the country. well in many ways it's very similar to scott to a good turn what is greater sense that they they share the same sort of political thinking they're much the same on climate change and energy policy well they are. more isn't done to support dark immigration in australia and that's quite a political qu

peter dutton has returned from a second straight.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? malcolm turnbull clearly wounded and pretty much just holding on by his fingernails to his job. i can imagine him saying that production had his chance. as you arejust production had his chance. as you are just saying, production had his chance. as you arejust saying, a number of resignations within the last 24 hours or so. how likely is it that you will be able to ride this out? if he survives today it will be quite something. if he survives the next few months it will be incredible because the ruling party now have a situation wher

peter dutton, who i mentioned there, his main rival is scott morrison, the treasurer. 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 is basically ousted him from government. there's a third name in all of this, julie bishop, she's been the deputy liberal leader for a long time. she's going to the polls probably the most popular of the three with the australian public but tragically no one in there is really thinking about the australian public at the moment, it's more a fight for the soul of the liberal party. who governs that party inside government or, after an election, outside government? will they want the right wing of the party to be in control or a more moderate vision? it could be these six prime minister in the best part of a decade for australia. hywel, thank you —— six. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: guilty, the gang who posed as rich businessmen hired a privatejet and a rolls royce to smuggle more than $50 million of coc

morrison has got thejob, the treasurer, who is an ally of turnbull despite the fact that the likes of peter dutton of all of these did not get thejob. instigator of all of these did not get the job. scott morrison represents continuity here. he was an ally of malcolm turnbull and so peter dutton‘s bid to swing the government to the right has clearly failed. i think that is an important distinction and what is interesting, actually, julie bishop, the deputy prime minister, the previous deputy prime minister, the previous deputy prime minister, the previous deputy prime minister was expected to do better than she did. that has caused quite a surprise. he did in his speech praised julie bishop a lot and talked about her loyalty and commitment to politics in australia. she has been a very popular leader. she has been a very popular leader. she is foreign minister but former deputy prime minister but she did not get thejob, deputy prime minister but she did not get the job, despite her efforts and many people would say she would be the most popular candidate for the general election, there is one comin

by what he called insurgents from within his own party and outside of it so the former minister peter dutton called for a leadership ballot on tuesday that was unsuccessful but malcolm turnbull did not seem to do enough to shore up his leadership and today peter dutton came back and said this time he had the numbers and wanted a nother vote but then surprisingly it was not peter dutton who emerged victorious and instead now the former treasurer and former immigration minister scott morrison will become the country's new prime minister and now australians on the whole really are fed up with what they see is a bit of a revolving door when it comes to the position of prime minister here in australia and scott morrison moved to try to reassure the population saying that amid all of this talk of whose side people are on he remains on the side of australians and he now faces the very difficult task of uniting his fractured party as it heads into a federal election in less than a year south africa has some on the top u.s. diplomat in the country to criticize president don't trump tweets on land ref
