To win a second term in office . And after the duke and duchess of sussex admit theyre struggling to cope with press scrutiny Prince William says hes worried. Life from our studios in singapore and london, this is bbc world news. It is newsday. Good morning. Its 7am in singapore, midnight in london and 8am in tokyo where World Leaders and foreign royalty are gathering to attend the enthronement of Emperor Naruhito. The ceremony officially marks the emperors ascension to the chrysanthemum throne, after his fathers abdication earlier this year. My colleague mariko oi is in tokyo for us. He became japans new emperor in may . So what is todays ceremony about . That is right. He became the 126 emperor of japan on the 1st that is right. He became the 126 emperor ofjapan on the 1st of may in the new era started then. It is not unusual though for these events to ta ke not unusual though for these events to take place over several years actually, especially because a new emperor usually takes to the throne after the passing of the previous emperor, of course this time it is different. Father stepped down in the first abdication in over two centuries and i guess that is why it feels a bit odd that to have a century ceremony back in may and we are having another one today. But todays event isnt really about introducing Emperor Naruhito and his wife to the world as you mention about 2000 guests are attending the event including several hundred foreign guests who have flown in to japan to attend the event, including britains prince charles. A parade was scheduled for this afternoon but it has been proposed. What is the reason . It has been postponed. The official reason is the devastation caused by the typhoon which at the country last weekend, killing at least 80 people. And the government officially announced the a postponement of the parade last friday and i have to say this weather, they probably would have had to postpone the parade anyway. But because the decision was made just last friday, there were some rumours weather there was a clash between the government, which was pushing for the event to go ahead, and the emperor, who wanted the postponement. We ask about that in a press event yesterday and they denied the clash and say it is because a while for them to assess the exact image of the typhoon. Im sure a lot of people there are talking about the previous emperor. The damage of the typhoon. And the current emperor. Had they been talking about the differences between the father in the sun . |j have to say a lot of similarities that people have notice with them, who visited to a lot of neighbouring countries who were affected by japans wartime atrocities. We noticed Emperor Naruhito making a similar switch on the 15th of august when he marked the end of the second world war, also his parents really shocked the japanese public when they visited the victims of natural disasters, kneeled and spoke to those victims. The japanese emperor was once seen as those victims. The japanese emperor was once seen as a those victims. The japanese emperor was once seen as a divine figure so a lot of older generation or less, they were shocked to see the emperor speak to what is known as commoners but we have noticed the emperor and emperor is doing the same. There are some differences however, Emperor Naruhito is the first emperor to have been brought up by his own pa rents, have been brought up by his own parents, also the first that have studied overseas at oxford as well. Thank you marika. Another big story were covering is that the British Government has finally published the eu Withdrawal Agreement bill that would ratify borisjohnsons brexit deal. Ministers are hoping it will make its way through parliament this week, allowing britain to leave the eu at the end of the month, without an extension. Earlier the speaker refused to allow a straight yes or no vote on the brexit deal. The bbcs political correspondent, jonathan blake, has the latest details. Were into a period where the government is trying to get through parliament what is called as you say the Withdrawal Agreement bill. And that is the 110 page piece of legislation which translates the brexit deal reached by the Prime Minister with the European Union into uk law. And if it is passed, it is a big if at the stage, that will count as the uks ratification of the brexit deal. It would then be over to the European Parliament to do the same. But as you say, there was no straight yes or no vote in the house of commons on the overall substance of the deal. That is something the Prime Minister would have wanted, so he could demonstrate to the eu that there was broad support for the deal and there might not be a need for the extension that he was forced to ask for. But we are now into a period of a few days when the government is trying to get this legislation through. And there are already complaints from Opposition Mps that they are not being given enough time to scrutinise what is a very complicated piece of legislation with far reaching consequences. The government though is sticking to its guns and will begin this process tomorrow with the first key vote probably in the early hours of tomorrow evening. And then crucially, a vote on the timetable to try and get it through parliament which the government wants to have wrapped up by the end of this week. Many mps may vote against that, scuppering the whole thing, because it will be very difficult then for him to get it passed by the october 31 legal deadline, which stands in which borisjohnson has said time and time again that he will take the uk out of the European Union by that deadline. Exactly, because that deadline is ticking by. We are really close. It is extremely tight. It is. And the numbers are at the moment, certainly as far as the government is concerned, just about with them in terms of the chances of this deal passing. But what we will see with this process over the next few days is attempts to amend the legislation, to bend and shape it in various directions, to try and impose what there may well be a majority in the house of commons for, keeping the uk in a closer economic relationship with the eu in future. So keeping the uk in a Customs Union with the eu for example. We will see in go forward to that effect. Also an attempt to put this deal to another public vote, to hold a another referendum on the uks membership of the terms of the deal agreed. Those are things the government does not want and would hope to win votes on those amendments as they are put forward, but it is by no means a rubber stamping exercise, it could take you many twists and turns over the next few days. Before the deal is finally approved or rejected by mps. Another busy week coming up. Also making news today. President trump has confirmed a small number of us troops will remain in syria. They will protect the border with israel and jordan, and also guard oilfields. Mr trump defended the overall us withdrawal from syria, which has been slammed as a betrayal of the kurds, who helped defeat so called islamic state. He said he never gave a commitment to protect the kurds for four hundred years. When we went to turkey and when we went to the kurds, they agreed to do things that they never wouldve done before the shooting started. If they didnt go through two and a half days of hell, i dont think they wouldve done it. I think you couldnt have made a deal. And people have been trying to make this dealfor years. Lebanons government has approved a package of Economic Reforms in an attempt to quell the countrys biggest protests in years. In the last five days, hundreds of thousands have marched to oppose government corruption and the cost of living.

The king of thailand has abruptly stripped his official consort of all her formal rankings and titles accusing her of disloyalty. Just months after she was appointed, he has stripped her of her titles and also her military ranks. In a Statement Read live on tv, Sineenat Wongvajirapakdi was called disloyal and ungrateful. Her appointment as official concubine following the kings marriage to queen sutida, was itself highly unusual in thailand. Mark lowen reports. The king and his consort in happier times. Just three months ago, she was appointed by the thai monarch as he sat with his queen. Now that is over after what seems like a clash involving the woman at his side and the one at his feet. The tv statement announcing her downfall was kurt. Her downfall was kert. Translation the royal noble consort is ungrateful and behaves in ways unbecoming of her title. She is also not content with the title bestowed upon her, doing everything to rise to the level of the queen. She lacks understanding of royal traditions and acted rebelliously against the king and the queen. Her appointment was the first time a thai king had taken a consort in almost a century. In a country where open discussion about the monarchy is rigorously controlled, her sudden rise was a very public show. Her dramatic fall from grace likely to be even more so. It cant come as a surprise that the royal consort went. It kinda goes into what her misbehavior was. She was disrespectful, she was jealous of the queen. She was trying to stop the Royal Wedding from taking place. She was trying to elevate herself to be at the same level as the queen. And even though the king had appointed her as well consort, appointed her as royal consort, she did not stop her misbehaviors. The king and his fourth wife are protected by strict defamation laws. Many thais see the monarch as a demigod. And so the elevation of the former pilot, nurse and royal bodyguard to the closest of royal ranks was a rare glimpse into a secretive world. In the end, it seems for thailands royal family, three was a crowd. Youre watching newsday on the bbc. Still to come on the programme.

Londons Financial Times leads with lebanons efforts to stop its biggest Anti Government demonstrations in decades.

Canadians are voting in parliamentary elections with the Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, facing a threat to his premiership. Observers say the vote will be one of the closest ever, with polls suggesting neither mr trudeaus liberal party, nor the rival conservatives will win a clear majority. Climate change, the economy, and health care were among key issues on voters minds during the five week campaign. Well, polls are due to close in the next couple of hours and our chief International Correspondent lyse doucet is in toronto following events. This is being seen as a referendum on mr trudeau. Yes, every vote cou nts on mr trudeau. Yes, every vote counts tonight forJustin Trudeau. He is in the fight of his political life. And if the polling stations across this vast country with six times zones have just started closing, they closed a short time ago when the newfoundland and labrador in the east coast of canada, about to close in Atlantic Canada, about to close in Atlantic Canada, ina canada, about to close in Atlantic Canada, in a few minutes time, lets see what kind of indication we will get as we wait for results to keep trickling in. David is with us. Canadian political scientist or commentator. Relatively few seats in the east of the country but will they give us hints about how well or how badlyJustin Trudeau liberals are doing . It is hard to say. The fa ct are doing . It is hard to say. The fact is it is a massive country. Most of the borders are off site elected canada come in ontario and quebec. A close race to go all the way to vancouver or British Columbia and the pacific ocean. In 2015, the liberal swept Atlantic Canada. If they perform well today, they might burn theirvery they perform well today, they might burn their very little. If they collect we might learn something but nobody is expecting that. We might learna nobody is expecting that. We might learn a little. Justin trudeau got a majority in the last election. All of the analysis says it will be a minority government, what do you think that will mean . It means that whoever govans think that will mean . It means that whoever governs the liberals are the conservatives will have to co operate with other parliamentarians and other parties. It is not uncommon for canada to have a minority government. They happen to be very productive actually. But it is a different change of pace, a change of tone, majority to minority, but it is probably good for the country. People outside of canada, they know aboutJustin Trudeau, he sees the world stage, saying he was a feminist and a champion for refugees. They dont know as much about Andrew Scheer of the conservatives. And his main challenger whats up will make a big difference in canada if the conservatives went rather than the liberals . On the global stage come in my thoughts some although course Justin Trudeau started quite famously as canadas back. A new era in only four years later in that narrative has changed. I suspect Andrew Scheer will play things differently. He is a little bit more down spoke and we can say. He has a lighter touch perhaps. But he will have a country to make in his own ideological image and so who knows four years from now, but i dont think he will quite hit the stage like Justin Trudeau did in 2015. Socially very conservative he is in a country would pride itself on its diversity. He made it clear he is against abortion and against gay marriage although he wouldnt change the conventions here in canada. The fa ct the conventions here in canada. The fact is it is a big country in the conservatives have to try and govern for as much as it is possible. That includes a lot of folks who are progressive and dangerous years has said he will not touch the abortion question, and the same sex marriage question. Andrew scheer has said. He is pro immigration and the fact that the conservatives under the la st that the conservatives under the last Prime Minister Stephen Harper we nt last Prime Minister Stephen Harper went out of their way to court new canadians because they wanted to get their support. I suspect Andrew Scheer would be somewhat similar. One question we often ask about canada is resisting the popular strain. The election of donald trump south of the border, what is happening in europe and some parts of america. Canada like to see itself as different. Is it . No. The country is only as different as its institutions. Everybody ultimately can be turned one way or the other. We have been fortunate are institutions have held out. In fact we have a populist Party Running in this election. The Peoples Party of canada. They have tanked. They have been rejected by mainstream canada. So far we been rejected by mainstream canada. So farwe are been rejected by mainstream canada. So far we are holding out as best as we can. Thank you, david. It will be a long night. The results are starting to come in. We heard the first three seats have gone too Justin Trudeaus liberal party. It is too early to say anything it will bea is too early to say anything it will be a long night. 338 separate races across this country but whoever winds in Atlantic Canada gives you some hint of what the trend could it be across the country. We will be following all the results as they come in. That is all from us here in toronto. At the beginning of a long and cold night. It may be a cold and long night but we are very grateful to to you for keeping us up to date in the polls closing in the next two hours. Thank you. Next few hours. The bbc has been told that britains Prince William is worried for his younger brother harry, and hopes he and his wife meghan are all right. A royal source said there was a view that meghan and harry were in a fragile place, with meghan saying her friends had advised her not to marry prince harry. Heres our royal correspondent, jonny dymond. In africa just weeks ago, they looked so happy. I think he knows exactly whats going on. They showed off their newborn son, they danced and laughed, but behind it all, two people struggling with their roles, their lives and an onslaught of criticism in britains best selling papers. Harry and meghan are one of the worlds most photographed couples, but he made clear his deep discomfort at his very public life. Every single time i see a camera, every time i hear a click, time i hear a click, every every single time i see a flash, it takes me straight back. So, in that respect, its the worst reminder of her life, as opposed to the best. Harry believes the press tore down his mother diana princess of wales. Now he sees it happening to his wife. She is clearly horrified by how she has been portrayed. She reveals herfriends warnings to her as she considered marriage. My british friends said to me, im sure hes great, but you shouldnt do it because the british tabloids will destroy your life. And i very naively, im american, we dont have that there what are you talking about . And the brothers . Once they were a team, together, taking on the world, that relationship has changed. Inevitably, you know, stuff happens, but, look, were brothers, well always be brothers. Were certainly on different paths at the moment but i will always be there for him, as i know hell always be there for me. A palace source says that Prince William is worried about his brother harry and that the belief is that harry and meghan are in a fragile place. A decent break, it is said, is probably a good idea. The tone is of quite deep concern. How do we make sure they are 0k . , one official asked . Harry has spoken before about his struggles with his own mental health. In africa, he revealed that those struggles continue. I thought i was out of the woods, and then suddenly it all came back and suddenly i realised, actually, no, this is something that i have to manage. Look, part of this job and part of anyjob, like everybody, means putting on a brave face. Its all such a far cry from that spring saturday a year and a half ago when they married. Now, both of them are struggling, neither seems able to enjoy their public role and harry remains haunted by the memory of his mother. Jonny dymond, bbc news.
