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 quite close forty people did not want to elect a new leader versus the forty five who did say that they wanted to vote to go ahead and that is when the leadership position was filled as it's called here and th

rosalind: yes trillion liberal party is in a closed door meeting -- the australian liberal party is in a closed door meeting over who should be prime minister. malcolm turnbull was australia's sixth prime minister since 2007, but the job will now go to right-winger peter dutton. -- peter dutton, scott morrison, or julie bishop. president trump says there is no -- he told fox he cannot see how he could be toppled for doing a great job, adding that ordinary americans would be hit in the pocket if he is forced out of the white house. it is the longest bull market on record, bolstered by tax cuts and corporate earnings. report suggests u.s. gdp growth will surpass that of china by 2040. china's economy will be 77% larger at the time. the scenario says that the u.s. and india will swap places by 2037 as the world's economic might switches to asia. economy could be larger than all oecd countries combined. prices minus -- bang on forecasts. the bank of japan's 2% inflation target remains a long way out of reach. elon musk is said to have stier -- hired morgan stanley on his plan to go private

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 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

s from the ruling liberal party. turnbull who'd been the job for less than three years survived a leadership challenge on tuesday. there was a ballot conducted in the party room for the leadership of the liberal party the successful candidate was scott morrison. and he won this quote by forty five votes to forty. two kathy novak in sydney cathy so scott morrison has now been chosen as australia's new prime minister he's won the leadership race talk us through what happened and what we know about scott morrison. well this was quite a surprising result we've seen leadership challenges for the position of prime minister here in australia in the past but what usually happens is that there is a challenge from one person there's a meeting and a vote held and of the prime minister in the past has been toppled by the person 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 bec

we have been seeing liberal party mps for the crucial vote. the prime minister malcom turnbull has confirmed he has lost majority support in parliament and it is expected to trigger leadership contests. expected to trigger leadership co ntests. h e expected to trigger leadership contests. he said he will not take pa rt contests. he said he will not take part in that. he survived one leadership contest but this seems a step too far from him. leadership contest but this seems a step too farfrom him. we did receive malcom turnbull go when. other members of parliament going in now. more on that as soon as we know results. the british government has released a raft of information on what it thinks will happen if the uk leaves the european union next year without a deal. the documents set out how people might prepare for no deal, in sectors including farming, finance and medicines. here's brexit secretary dominic raab. naturally, we've got to consider the alternative possibility that the eu doesn't match our pragmatism and that we don't reach a deal

here in australia it's called the liberal party the broadly it is on the conservative more right wing of the spectrum and malcolm turnbull within that party is seen as a moderate and his opponents wanted to see a more conservative leader 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

that is when we expect this party meeting to take place the liberal party and what we expect to happen is for malcolm turnbull to accept that there are enough people who want a change of leader, the him to stand aside, and for those three contenders mentioned earlier to fight for the vote. if the dutton, who caused this instability, is at the frontrunner but he will have a strong challenge from the deputy leader and treasurer of the party. however it is likely malcolm turnbull will and his prime ministership. it is a revolving door, sixth prime minister is in ii yea rs. door, sixth prime minister is in ii years. can a leader actually get anything achieved in office? years. can a leader actually get anything achieved in office7m years. can a leader actually get anything achieved in office? it is incredible that australia has had this fast spin cycle of politicians. it is partly down to the fact there is an election every three years so if you do not do well in the first year, the nice out to get you. it damages and limitation. they are not expecting to win the next election. the polls s

i do not think the liberal party will be in government for much longer. i think there is a very good chance that they will lose the next election, irrespective of who the leader is. i'm a bit worried we might go down the path of the states, closing the border down and that type of thing. i think we've come a long way and i think we're actually going to take a few steps backwards. voices from the streets of canberra there. our correspondent hywel griffith is in the capital, canberra. there are several memes circulating saying classically robust australian terms that australian politicians should get on with the job and. what is happening 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'

months and indeed the opinion polls were really done for of the liberal party coalition government earlier this week and that's what in many ways prompted this leadership spill earlier on today. scott morrison tried to do his best to. inspire the of the nation and his press conference earlier on today he delivered a rallying call to the middle australia asking for people to have a good one of the dignity of work and to build a stronger australia although exactly how he intends to i'm not quite sure and i'm sure what a mad can turn will have to say about these developments this week it's been of a difficult political week for him. or it's been a terrible week that he lost his job was to hard and things went from bad to worse from monday almost he'd try to hang on but in the end today he had to give in to a leadership ballot and he said it wouldn't take part of the ballot leaving the contest open to three other people including scott morrison peter dunne who was his main rival and julie bishop who's the other foreign minister here he was clearly very very hurt by what could have been done to

now, malcolm turnbull, who's on the kind of progressive side of the ruling liberal party, he wanted to introduce tariffs on emissions. he was also looking at bringing in big changes to the tax system. however, people on the right of the party, including the man who's challenged him, peter dutton, they don't want to see tariffs on carbon emissions, they don't want the same tax reform as malcolm turnbull. and they want much harder lines on issues such as immigration. peter dutton, until he was forced to resign this week, was the immigration minister who was very clear about not wanting to accept people into australia unless they are invited. so those are the issues at play. arguably they are not the issues that govern day—to—day life in australia and i think that's where we see this big disconnect. remember, australia, many parts of australia, are in the grip of a terrible drought. farmers desperate for rain and desperate for support, and yet here we have a government effectively now in limbo because they can't decide who they want as prime minister. hywel griffith there. we will hea

whether or not the the right wing of the liberal party will now you know come in and win the golden and support scott morrison jumbles successor well that remains to be seen ok sounds like it's going to be a very fragile government there in canberra what was the deciding factor in turnbull's quick exit. well i mean basically don't come back to energy prices and the energy policy of the turnbull government there's been a lot of criticism about energy in cringely price increases over the past few months this week there was a of a staggering slump in the opinion polls for american turnbull and his government and that really instigated the efforts by peter dutton his main rival in all this to call a leadership ballot he tried that on on tuesday that had another good day and on this occasion. the out of the ballot was held by the call of peter duncan didn't actually succeed him self that the top job went to a scott morrison who now has a difficult task of trying to reunite the party at a time when the government probably won't have much more georget turnbull is going to leave your seat in th
