Mark Carney's Liberal Party wins Canadian general election
In his victory speech, Carney told supporters that President Trump is ‘trying to break us’.
In a remarkable turnaround, Canada’s Liberal Party has won a fourth consecutive term. It had been trailing by 15 to 20 points behind the Conservative opposition. But it’s not yet clear if they’ll command a majority in parliament. We ask a Liberal Party MP about the challenges ahead.
Also in the programme: a vaccine that does not need to be refrigerated starts human trials in the UK; and the chaos that yesterday’s power outage in Spain left in its trail – we hear the tale of one high speed train passenger who ended up overnight in a rural village.
