For being too ambitious. And after the duke and duchess of sussex admit theyre struggling to cope with press scrutiny Prince William says hes worried. This is the bbc world news. It is newsday. Good morning. Its 8am in singapore, one am in london and 9am 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. Where it is rainy. He became japans new emperor in may. So what is todays ceremony about . As you said, he became the 126 emperor of japan on the 1st as you said, he became the 126 emperor ofjapan on the 1st of may and that is when the new era also started. But it is not uncommon for these events and ceremonies to take place over several years, especially because usually a new emperor takes the throne after the passing of the previous emperor. Of course, this time it is different. His father stepped down in the first abdication in over two centuries. That is why if not a bit strange with updating we had the ceremony about six month ago . But todays event is really japan introducing Emperor Naruhito and his wife to the world. Some 2000 guests are attending this event, including some several hundred guests from abroad who have flown in to japan to attend the event, including Prince Charles from the uk. The parade scheduled for this afternoon has been postponed whats the reason . The official reason is the devastation caused by the typhoon which hit the nation last weekend if you remember. Claiming more than 18 allies. I have to say in this weather it probably would have been postponed anyway. But because the decision was made only on friday there were some rumours weather there were some rumours weather there was a clash between the government which was hoping to push ahead with the event and the emperor himself who apparently wanted to the parade to be postponed. We ask about that in a press briefing yesterday and they denied that there was any kind of clash, hejust and they denied that there was any kind of clash, he just took the government some time to assess the exact government some time to assess the exa ct exte nt government some time to assess the exact extent and damage caused by the typhoon. Im sure theres also some comparisons with Emperor Naruhito and his father who abdicated the throne, Emperor Akihito. Are there any differences between father and sun . |j akihito. Are there any differences between father and sun . I think Emperor Naruhito with many similarities. His father, Emperor Akihito it was a known pacifist who travelled across asia, which was affected by japans wartime atrocities, judging from the speech made by Emperor Naruhito in the 15th of august, which marked the end of the second world war, he is sharing very similar views about japans wartime past, also his parents really shocked the japanese public when they visited the victims of natural disasters in the past, kneeling down and talk into what is known as commoners because the japanese emperor was a divine figure only decades ago, so it really shocked the older generations of the emperor and empress doing something quite similar. 0f emperor and empress doing something quite similar. Of course they are very clear differences as well. Emperor naruhito was the first Emperor Naruhito was the first emperor to have been brought up by his own parents. He was also the first emperor to have studied abroad. Thank you forjoining us, mariko 0i. The British Government has finally published the eu Withdrawal Agreement bill that would ratify Boris Johnsons 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. 0ur 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 and which borisjohnson has said time and time again that he will take the uk out of the European Union by that deadline.

Polls are starting to close in eastern parts of canada in one of the countrys most closely fought elections with Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau facing a potential threat to his premiership. Neither mr trudeaus liberal party, nor the rival conservatives are expected to win a clear majority. Climate change, the economy, and health care were among key issues on voters minds during the five week campaign. 0ur chief International Correspondent lyse doucet is in toronto following events. Some results coming through it when it is being built as canadas closest elections. Yes, the closest race many canadians have ever seen. It will be a long night. It takes a long time for public stations to close across the country with six time zones, it is front of the country of the second biggest landmass. But the coals in Eastern Canada where the liberal parties of Justin Trudeau swept all of the seats in the last election in 2015 have already closed. We are getting some glimpse of the way ahead, we are joined some glimpse of the way ahead, we arejoined by laura stone of some glimpse of the way ahead, we are joined by laura stone of the Canada National newspaper, the global mail. Can lily make only a few seats have been declared, six out of 300. They have all got to the liberal party. Its still too early to say with the trend is. Highly. We expect the liberal probably will lose some seats in atlantic canada. It will be very difficult for the liberal so when all of those seats again. This election is truly a referendum on Justin Trudeau, again. This election is truly a referendum onJustin Trudeau, no defining issue of the election we talked about climate change, we talked about climate change, we talked about climate change, we talked a bit about indigenous issues, suddenly the economy and affordability it can it like this such as toronto, very expensive for the average middle class voters. But really this is about Justin Trudeau and he came into the selection with many for floss and he had in the previous election. When he was deemed the saviour of the liberal party. He really brought it back from the brink, now he came under the cloud of the snc lavalin scandal, regarding the Engineering Company from quebec, we have the brown face and black faced controversy which erupted during the campaign and obviously made headlines across the globe, so we do expect the liberals are going to lose some seats in this campaign but anything is possible and it is early cell. You spent a lot of the campaign here in toronto, and the surrounding areas. This is a huge vote bank. Some resentment in canada that the votes in the province of 0ntario that the votes in the province of ontario and quebec pretty well because the election. That is right. It is the seats in the suburbs of toronto, the called the 905, named after the area code, which are really crucial for any party, they tend to vote in a block and tend to swing between the parties, they are not loyal to anyone party but it is between the liberals in the conservatives generally in those suburbs. Although the third party in the peters on the rise. Interesting to see how they play into it. The liberals took most of those seats in the 2015 election, prior to that, the 2015 election, prior to that, the conservatives took most of them, so the conservatives took most of them, so they do swing back and forth so we will be watching those blocks of seats in the toronto suburbs. Stay with us. Lets take a moment to reflect on how the political system works in canada and what the real issues have been in this election. In some ways, this election is all aboutJustin Trudeau. The four year record of a charismatic leader who promised hope and change in canada and seized the world stage. And now, four years on, his challenger of the right says he is a phoney and fraud. And his rivals on the left are trying to steal his progressive mandate. So in a country where a Prime Minister almost always gets a second term, Justin Trudeau is fighting just to hold onto power. His main challenger, Andrew Scheer, leads the conservative party. Jagmeet singh of the ndp may gain ground on the left. So could the greens of elizabeth may. The bloc quebecois is making a comeback. Maxime bernier heads the new right wing Peoples Party of canada. In canadas elections, there are actually 338 separate races. Local candidates competing in federal ridings all across this vast country battling for seats in the house of commons. At parliament, much like its british namesake, if any one party wins 170 seats or more, there will be in the there will be another majority government. But it looks more likely to be a minority one. A hung parliament. This matters in this selection the votes of young canadians for the first time ever, the under 35s make up the biggest block in this election. And groups like this, get out the vote, are organising on university and College Campuses across this country, urging young canadians to understand why their vote matters. In 2015, the election which broughtJustin Trudeau to power, there was more. You dont believe in voting . I voted, but i dont believe in it. Laughter. Everybody has an opinion here. Those elections in 2015, more than an 18 increase in young voters, most of the voted for the liberal leader, but they are saying in places like this it doesnt matter who you vote for. Just imporant that you do vote. Will young canadians come out in large numbers of time to cast a ballot . What have you been seeing . They played a decisive role in 2015 and could make or break the selection. I think the youth what is one ofJustin Trudeau pots my greatest challenges in this election because he was so successful in the la st because he was so successful in the last election and inspiring young people to vote for his party, looking outside of the confines of the traditional liberal party. Whether it was his promises on climate change, indigenous issues, Electoral Reform which he ultimately abandoned while in government, and believe it or not, his heat billy mickey is the old man in this race now, facing two younger opponents, Andrew Scheer and sing. So he could actually lose some of those younger votes. He is actually the old man. He could lose him to the progress of any p. Was saw advanced voter turn out significa ntly progress of any p. Was saw advanced voter turn out significantly before today in the advance polls. We will all be watching that then young people come out to vote and also more pointedly, who did they end up voting for. Speaking about that and focusing on the two main parties, who got the majority of seats with the new democrats and the greens could do better than ever . The new democrats and the bloc quebecois and quebec which is a party that is on the rice that really skyrocketed during this campaign, nationalist party in the only run seats on the province of quebec. They are poised to potentially come in third place was up in a minority government situation come if needed the liberals are the conservative take a majority of the seats they could potentially have to work with one of those two other parties and that presents unique challenges to either Justin Trudeau or Andrew Scheer. The arithmetic of of an election, thank you laura stone. When you cover elections these days, they said to be a warning because and went election after another around the well, the polls, with all due respect to the pollsters, pollsters often get it wrong. We will have to just wait at the polls and votes are counted right across this great country, six time zones come it will be a long cold night and we continue our special coverage here on bbc world news.

Lets turn to thailand now, where the king has made a shock annoucement about his official consort. Just months after she was appointed, hes stripped now her of her titles and military ranks. 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 curt. 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 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. The bbc has been told that 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,. 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, 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. You have been watching newsday.
