Gillard Calls Leadership Vote

Description:Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard's called a crucial leadership vote for Monday which she hopes will head off a bitter showdown with rival Kevin Rudd. Gillard moved swiftly a day after Rudd announced his resignation as foreign minister. The early vote limit's Rudd's ability to build support to replace Gillard as Labour leader after he announced his resignation on Wednesday during a visit to the United States. (1:40)
