Counting is under way for a second day in Ireland's general election, | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
one which has already spelt electoral disaster | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
The prospect of a new coalition government is in disarray | :00:27. | :00:33. | |
after the party of the Irish Prime Minister, Enda Kenny, | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
Let's go live now to our Ireland correspondent, Chris Buckler, | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
Ireland's obligated voting system means it is still not clear exactly | :00:40. | :00:52. | |
what the final numbers will be, but what is clear that this point is | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
that the big parties can hardly be regarded as winners. They have | :00:56. | :01:02. | |
suffered badly at the hands of a protest vote might. After a night | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
spent counting votes, Ireland has woken up to political change and the | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
New Year of uncertainty. The election posters that still lined | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
the streets now a reminder of shattered dreams and ruin careers. | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
What was the establishment has been shaken, and it is the parties in | :01:21. | :01:28. | |
government that have been damaged. Clear the option not offer Fine Gael | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
-Labour government have gone. We do not know the options yet. Given my | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
responsibility and my duty as Taoiseach and head of government, I | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
need to decide what to do. The Taoiseach and his team are having to | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
examine what went wrong in their campaign. The economy and companies | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
like this Dublin pharmaceutical firm are expanding, creating | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
opportunities for those who had to leave Ireland to find work in the | :01:55. | :02:02. | |
past. My family and friends left Ireland, between 2007-2012. Massive | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
number of people left. Some voters seem to have forgiven Fianna Fail, | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
which was the party in charge when this country needed a financial | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
bailout. The Irish Labour Party has been torn apart, the public blaming | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
the junior partner in the coalition for the resulting years of | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
austerity. I expected we would get hip but the fact that people would | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
go from this government which had to sort out the problems of the last | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
government, it is stunning. All three right of centre parties have | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
found it have winning trust. In many ways this is been a vote against the | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
establishment. On the rise, independent candidates and Antaeus | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
territory and left-wing parties, including Sinn Fein. One thing is | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
certain, this change will continue. If a progressive government is not | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
elected this time, it is only a matter of time. With such a divided | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
vote it will be very difficult to form a government. Government | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
ministers have already lost their seats and the coalition negotiations | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
will be difficult. They smack is used coalitions. It is almost 40 | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
years since there was a government here. But with such a split vote, | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
with independence and so many small parties in the mix, how you get | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
people together, no one really knows at this stage. | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
Thank you. In America, Hillary Clinton has | :03:34. | :03:35. | |
secured a big win in the latest round of the race to secure | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
the Democratic nomination She took 73% of the vote | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
in South Carolina, giving her a landslide victory over | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
rival Bernie Sanders. Next is so-called "Super Tuesday" | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
where 11 states will be voting. From South Carolina, | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
Kim Ghattas reports. Cries of victory after a landslide | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
for Hillary Clinton in South After a difficult start in January, | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
the Clinton campaign is taking off. And tomorrow, this | :03:55. | :04:06. | |
campaign goes national. She was always assured a win here, | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
but the numbers are astonishing. More African-Americans turned | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
out for her than did Donella Wilson, the oldest woman | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
in the state, and her daughter came to vote for Hillary Clinton | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
and help make history. Bernie Sanders had tried hard | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
to gain the support of minority But the Palmetto State was just not | :04:31. | :04:39. | |
ready for Mr Sanders, so off he went to Texas to campaign | :04:40. | :04:47. | |
as South Carolina voted. This race is not over, | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
but on Saturday night, the party was here at | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
the Clinton campaign rally. This may have been an easy win | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
for Hillary Clinton, In 2008, she lost big | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
here to her then Democratic This time around, she goes | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
into the big contests in March Kim Ghattas, BBC News, | :05:08. | :05:14. | |
in Columbia, South Carolina. In Syria there have been reports | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
that war planes have attacked several areas in the northern | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
province of Aleppo, a day after a nationwide | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
ceasefire came into effect. Elsewhere, the truce appears | :05:26. | :05:27. | |
largely to be holding. Our correspondent, Mark Lowen, | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
is close to the Turkey-Syria border. Mark, what do we know | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
about these latest strikes? They hit a handful of villages | :05:34. | :05:46. | |
clustered Aleppo, near the Turkish border in northern Syria. We do not | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
know the provenance of these planes. Local activists say they believe | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
they are Russian but Moscow has not confirmed any aerial attacks today. | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
We do not know the real target. If it was the Al-Qaeda link Ms Roth | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
front, this would not constitute a ceasefire breach, because both | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
al-Nusra and Islamic State are beyond the terms of this ceasefire | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
deal. In terms of control, the front lines are shifting. Some Western | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
backed brigades are in those villages. It is possible that the | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
opposition was the real target under the cover off on era. -- al-Nusra. | :06:24. | :06:32. | |
Elsewhere, it has been relatively quiet. In places like Douma, | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
children have been able to come out to play. Numerous ceasefire breaches | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
have been alleged in the last few hours. As one person put it in | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
Damascus, for the first time in a long time, we have woken up to the | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
sound of birdsong rather than bombs. Fifa's new president, | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
Gianni Infantino, told the BBC today his organisation must ensure | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
"everything comes out" following the turmoil | :06:58. | :06:59. | |
surrounding his predecessor, Opening a ?100 million | :07:00. | :07:00. | |
World Football Museum in Zurich this morning, Mr Infantino insisted | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
Fifa could be fixed, You have to start, as of now, | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
to live the reforms, already, as of now, | :07:08. | :07:20. | |
and for the future. As for the past, we have to make | :07:21. | :07:22. | |
sure that we cooperate fully with the authorities to make sure | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
that everything comes out There's a warning today that | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
a million buy-to-let properties could be making a loss | :07:30. | :07:36. | |
by 2020 because, in part, From April, people who buy homes | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
to rent them for income will have And from next year, | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
generous tax allowances Our business correspondent, | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
Joe Lynam, reports. Jaye Cook has five buy-to-let | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
properties in Kent, but he won't be buying any more, thanks | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
to a new higher stamp He also won't be able to deduct | :07:58. | :07:59. | |
as much mortgage interest So what will he do | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
with his properties? I think the only reason why | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
we haven't immediately sold is because we are tied | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
in with fixed-rate mortgages with penalties for early repayment | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
so we don't have the ability to sell immediately, but certainly I think, | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
going forward, as those fixed rates finish, subject to the prices | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
available on the property market, Do you think there will be | :08:24. | :08:25. | |
lots of other buy-to-let investors Absolutely, I think it has become | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
a much less attractive investment and people can't afford | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
a loss every month. There are 2 million buy-to-let | :08:34. | :08:41. | |
landlords like Jaye. Between them, they own 5 | :08:42. | :08:43. | |
million homes in Britain. Now a study says that more | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
than 1 million of them could be loss-making if rates rise | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
in the coming years. But for renters keen to get | :08:50. | :08:51. | |
on the housing ladder, the changes to | :08:52. | :08:53. | |
buy-to-let are welcome. We see the tax incentives | :08:54. | :08:55. | |
for buy-to-let landlords have pushed a lot of amateur | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
landlords into the market. Removing these incentives | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
will professionalise landlords and make way for | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
first-time home-buyers, which may have been pushed out | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
of the market because of these tax The Treasury says | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
that by restricting the mortgage tax relief, | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
it has addressed the unfair advantage enjoyed by | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
buy-to-let landlords. Buy-to-let properties accounted | :09:24. | :09:32. | |
for a substantial part of Britain's They are going to pay higher | :09:33. | :09:40. | |
stamp duty from April That is to the advantage | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
of a Chancellor who wants to balance the books, | :09:46. | :09:47. | |
but it could have a major impact Bye for now. | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
Good afternoon. Our weather patterns | :09:51. | :10:13. |
