he won the enjoy up to 3 months, free subscription of free being set top box. that mo, i'm not more deals and watch exclusive from a dental family drama, drama, and chuck, your running on kid shows. cooking shows you a for you right? 2020 full year of the leaves and much more. don't forget to use the promo code from it. that tugs go to the polls again. this time for municipal elections present the ones policy hopes to be take control of major cities. while the opposition wants to cement games made in 2019, but what shakes the selections and what direction could to kid take? this is inside story, the hello again on james basis of i could define the future of turkish politics.

municipal elections are being held in all 81 provinces, but the real battle is for a city of 16000000 people, the only city on 2 continents as simple as the saying and took as politics. whoever wins a stumble wins took care, and that's why this votes, the tests for present other ones are capacity. which last is done both the opposition 5 years ago. money is a major factor. whoever controls big cities also controls that budgets development projects and quite possibly the parties longevity. there's a lot at stake in this race height, height, sky, high inflation, political divisions, and international pressures all play a role. we'll take a look at all those issues and how they affect the country speeches with all guess in a moment. but 1st this report from katya lopez hold a young it's the local election with the national implications. turkish president, regent type air. the one isn't running, but he is on the campaign trail supporting his parties. candidates,

the governing all parties trying to win back on korea and east stumble cities at last of the opposition. c. h p in 20. 19. because not much. they saw the zip is there, kind of it didn't make it to some people a holding us back not to when, but just to make us lose being who is going to win. if we lose, of course, the fascist c h p, and the pro curtis policy. the vote is widely seen as a test of the president's popularity and of the opposition functionality. when it came email mobile one to my your all student is simple. 5 years ago. it was a surprise upset for air the ones party band from last year's presidential elections if he wins the 2nd term. as the symbols mayor analysts say it's likely field one for the presidency in 20. 28 is good. if. if we win it, we'll send a strong message or a message filled with democracy,

or what the people say goes. sovereignty belongs to a people who do not bowed down to pressure oppression. conspiracy lie or slander. the party has chosen 47 year old modem. kudos a former environmental in organization minister to reclaim the city of 16000000 order. a symbol symbol is an easy in the hands of an incompetence administration. in the past 5 years, unfortunately stumble became a victim of unqualified leaders who stumbled on caroll have the largest municipal budgets. whoever controls them also controls their budgets and assessments, job creation, and ultimately popularity on the national stage. fair to on has been in power for more than 20 years and says he will not run again, but doubts linger. some analysts say the results of this fluid could influence whether he pushes for changes to the constitution,

which could extend his term of office beyond 2028. so this is going to be a test for him. now, whether he will succeed to get stumbled back. and if he does so, that means that he will be able to extend endorse his power. a lot has happened since 2 kias last municipal elections. there is more attention on the curtis population, which is the country's largest minority group, as well as the role that plays in swing votes. annual inflation has skyrocketed to nearly 70 percent, and hundreds of thousands of people are still homeless after the devastating earthquakes last year. last year, the if the opposition c h p, once this stumble again, it could set true key on a new path. while a victory for the party could further cement error to wants decades long groups on

power cuts a little bit. so the un, which is 0 for insights story while as we've heard in couches report is done, pull is absolutely key in this selection. that's why all guess, are we joined by i'm a customer hon. he's professor of political science and international relations. a because university that be by son is an let's go on list and the system professor a been how doing university. and mimic chillik is editorial coordinate, the daily sub, a newspaper assigned to all of you for joining us. start with you. i'm at. if i can, these are local elections, so local issues will be a play button that taking place in all i see one provinces, single tiniest lisa how important all day as a political indicator to well, they are really important, obviously, because for after just a couple of months considering things turkey had gone through an election of for

the presidential race in may. uh, this is probably the biggest jump approval for that. you could carry uh, anywhere around the world for president as a law who has been elected only a couple of months earlier. and who has not been actually very much able to introduce the new economy program that he intended to introduce by pointing. ma'am, it seems like as the finance minister because of the coming elections because a really. ready concern for losing the coming elections. the, under the pressure of the economy was to you, which basically are very hard to address my in australia to program as intended to wiley are facing an election that be um yes, they are

a referendum then in some ways on the president and his government. but he's only just had elections less than a year ago. a well indeed, i mean probably less than a year to, to consider a happened last of june. and therefore, probably we have no most international interest and attention to the issue. and therefore probably the read and doing everything they can to promote a be so cool as a former minister, as a report said to win this my little election. so as, as we can see, a specialist so far as on cut out is stumble, consume, this is far beyond local elections. while this is probably as cementing a, the power of the corporate attitude we sit out of the on. so it's all in, in the, in the same baskets for tomorrow's elections. that's why you can see the public interest is there and with intent the following. the developments as well as the

promises are made. but of course, there are a couple of issues, especially stumble concerned, be a possible or even over do a quick uh, all these a crisis which is really to put an enormous pressure on the housing sector. um the house has price is on the rent. so going all right, and inflation and his dad, and of course tomorrow will, will probably, uh tell us how people's feeling boulevard that. i don't close to add it until this is the rising full price is so economy is probably number $1.00 issue in this of the elections because we have to be talking about the greek to the minus spot of the turn to this. but also especially stumble concerns is like the area or the programs that we call them, the smaller the visuals on the city like spotty, for example. it's always been an oc policy,

but you can see all the kind of this really pushing themselves in making the existence know and really making promises to the future office stumble met. maybe i can take you back to 20. 19 the last local elections. how much of a blo was that to present other ones are capacity the media, i mean misheard on and that's all party was in power and it's. ready ending on the car for, for about 2 decades. so considering that to the kids who coming to an and i think there was an, a big blow. and it was one of the key successes for, for the alliance position alliance to win the. busy and it's a whole and as well as an uncle and some of the other significant metropolitan municipalities. i think this is the reason why the position has been so keen to win this election because they want to build on that more i'll the more i was and they

had in 2019. but we should also acknowledge that this 5 do 2019 wins and has some of the. busy municipal elections in 2023 last year in the presidential elections demos, and that's morales was damaged. and the alliance has also, this whole says, the source as to previous speakers, nation economy. i think it's the biggest, the physician at the moment in this double particularly. and maybe you know her as well. the biggest opposition to mr harry one otherwise, if you know, of course, there's other economic is demographic changes and assemble and voters. the tendencies of also shifted in some of the districts and this, the more likely to die and perhaps, and fuzzy as well. oh, there's you know, in line with that. so physicians more high morale, there's also a dis united position. the only challenge will be,

is to mr. i don't know whether despite the fact that your position is this united when they're parties like the property gauge, d p, or now they call it them whether they will still support mr. mul. mueller, and also how impactful it will be. busy with the new welfare party, the outcomes part, let's see whether they will some of the total base will silva for out on despite the fact that they have their own candidates. so there's some game changers in this election, which we did not have in the, in the presidential election last year as well as in 2019. but yes, it was a blow to mr. edwards power in the summer. but we should also, i still remember that his party won, the majority of them is policies across the country. ahmed, if you could perhaps give us a bit of context about a stumble. i think everyone watching knows it's one of the major will cities. but

how important is it to economic and political life in took here? i was looking at the specifics i think so. fits of took is population and responsible for molding the culture of the countries g d p as well. basically it's so important that you can really exit. ready the importance of it's, uh, let me put it that way. uh, much of the tax revenues are generated in stumble. it contributes to g, d, p, as you've said in a very meaningful matter. the industrial base is stumble, the technology curve, base of the companies in the stumble, actually human resources. when you come to schuman capital assessing that, then you would say that the spelling will probably your access to the best city that you could find the best of the in, in, in, in voltage, to get. so it's a very important safety as him being that he mentioned in your story on a,

on your background story. i own, he stumbles, the end is turkey is addictions. i will tell you that when you stumble means so, even though, even though the government right now is trying to diminish the importance of uh eh, it changing stumbles municipality. uh, as it is a new 2019 lots as that he will, lucian, the thing. and trying not to define it, dieting pops from stumbles, may have shipped to the presidency or sort of key as, as being the for me to concur euro missed that added on. everybody knows that whoever bins is stumbled is a viable candidates for uh, a new office in cherokee, in mister e. my oldest case that office is undoubtedly the presidential office and that

was needed tickets for him. and if we didn't get a stumble again with me for at least 3 memo look a ticket. so running into $1028.00 elections the the presidential elections. that is the problem here. it is that this will mean that turkey is not going to get out of the election cycle. and this term for me is that add on is, as i would put in a legacy and consolidation sir. and he would find it very hard to do it in the presence of a candidate who is as heavy handed as i, as i would say. i'm just a model. that was me to the key is going to get into a nice a call station of the bay. and that is going to mean that the election cycle is still there. and this is going to have consequences and not very, i would say pose if it was for the austerity program that is being trying to the

person right now. but even though integrated fragments as matter very how personal is this for a president. the other one um and i looked a recent quote to the rallies that is, um bill will be returned to its real own. uh, it's his home town. its where he made his political a set and i think it's almost exactly so 2 years ago. but he got his 1st job as a matter of his stumble, 1994. how much does winning and assemble mean to the president? a lot. fluffy is. is native to stumble like and city you was born in one of the area of the golden hall. you can say, well do all the sacraments during the 1955. and i can understand really old, his childhood to his, his, you being and they stumbled. he was active in sports as well, making this neighborhood teams. and also going in to almost,

i think service professionals and so it means a lot. but let's remind our viewers that the past from mit is stumbled, major shift to that possible, have a strong candidate to purchase a president's office. in fact, probably strongly represented by ad on itself because he became the mayor of, you stumbled in 1994. i, i don't want to really say something wrong, but i can't recall. anybody else became so popular as it may role is stumbled. the sho, in between 1994 to 1998 and done few forms, his own party as the box spring of mister out of the columns they thought about sounds party. so she was, you know, kind of really came as a shock to voltage, but later they rented a voltage for him. so in fact, probably we don't have any all the may or that. so we stumbled and made his way off

to cut off. but he takes it very seriously on the issues, so it's in the very post. so for mr. out of the law, because he still has his a residential fitness stumble in one of the classical areas you. i don't know how much, but i can guess it's most of his time. i guess the non cut off is it did the city and it's hard. i'm happy to say is that it's, it's stumbled so therefore he's is, is this doing everything possible to get the stumble back? it is there for we see more in his, in the discourse that is stumble. is there a time and he wants to when it's on cut out somehow is like secondary. so it's not really that much promo to so i yes, that are political consequences. no dog. there are economy reasons, no doubt, but also his one of the greatest make up projects, for example, building

a building a come out in between model model to see as well as the black. see kind of part of the, to the famous boss for us. and hopefully the international academy is passport taishan will take place from there is a debate to issue above still the mega project. still the huge investments including transport station is all call centrally to the most of the call center waiting to watch this tumble. so it's still okay, is this, is it, and it is hold on as a better, stronger presentation. ok. moment if i can ask you about, it stumbled on the candidates. i read somewhere. there were 52 actual names, but it is really just between these 2. is it not? and can you tell us what are the latest polls say? well, if i may add just a comment about mr. i don't have the attachment to assemble. there is a personal attachment, there is a sense of mental attachment. there is an error on the legacy interest. i'm. well,

i think aside from the what makes it so special for mr. ed? what is that we need someone that has a huge political, psychological effect for the rest of the country and did the longevity or his party set up in the future. so you know that we have to put in there to that. yes. there is a, you know, says personal attachment, but what happens and assemble, he's reflecting across the country and most, in most cases. okay. but in terms of the, if you, if you don't mind, mehmet, the, the question about the polls just so that we know it seems to be, am i right in saying is on the knife edge, it is very next to next. and then i have plans no, not to sign any of the pollsters, but posters are very pull it aside and the biggest problem will be tomorrow. when people go to the ballot boxes. because when we look at the culture, we see that they have, you know, i, i'm very critical. some unfortunately on the low they tend to be very scientific, but their political affiliations are very clear in both sides. both of those that

say that mr. cool, and, or on the other side where the costs are that they say mr. model is way ahead by, let's say, nearly 10 points. so it's not just, you know, more so, you know, cultures, i'm very skeptical, but it is at times then very next to next race tomorrow. i think everybody will find out to the, the actual results. um okay, so let me bring um, let me bring it in now. i just want to talk about these 2 candidates. we've mentioned them before a bit. mr. him, i know lou, tell me what is his record? would you say he's been met for 5 years? what's his record as well, of course that. ready so is this man is said about impulses of a much voltage size issue. if you're on the position, you will say that the memorial was and a successful may or for a stumble, for the past 5 years. and only by virtue of the stopping this kind of the stumble

projects is evil in the hearts of the people on the position because it made it off . those people see this, the project is the best and then so based on the via, the government is putting a lot of emphasis in its developmental aspects. and so it is a politicized d b. but what i would say is that uh, in all honesty from where i look, i don't take the extra anymore that wasn't unsuccessful, may or for the stumble, considering that he had to work with the constraints imposed up on him by the government when it comes to the approval for his projects is bigger loans from international lenders for his, a fairly large projects, so on so forth end the end to end the budget, which is the patients that you was able to benefit from. and of course, of course, had the political leader whether they were national or regional leaders that had to

do with kind of it in a very bad economy. for the last couple of years of heavy in terms of the all the candidates, the active policy, kansas more not crum. it could he. i mean, is this a spring board for him because president oh, on a, according to the rules called run again in 2028 and hasn't really chosen a pundit to go uh, could he be the uh the uh, the color plate. of course, the lot rate of focusing on this issue policy was the embodiment minister and people know and this cost is as, as minister and, and therefore we can see that as long or similarly always want to appear with him to show that you know this, this is demand so because you know, country this is due to a strong polarization, often people, even if they don't of this the 70. no. well the can do that. they both for those

who recommended him in this case when people would be to stay the whole much about the girl because of mister and go on. they were for a david more for him. so it just, it's very hard to, oh yeah. and it says, for example, when you look at the district candidates, probably many people never even heard of them before. all, they don't know their background necessarily, but they would still vote the day in line with the point of view of the party. these people are presenting, so in the re go, i could, i can say probably what i call them. i don't want to speculate because the debate is not there, whether it would be, have to miss it at all, or whether it all. so these elections, the constitution will change his term will be again, constitutional approval. these are all on the table. but i think tomorrow's election results will be a quite significantly in terms of shaping the future will talk to. so

tomorrow, more of a monday morning, we'll probably wake up to a very new to our kids in a different direction or probably following the same cost. it's up to people to have to decide for it. but one thing is very important for us. voters is the elections takes place in the fair and square, and actually all the rules and regulations folks are as, as it happens and talk to you. so there's speculation of adults about the net met. we've got lots of people in the pos, predicting presence of the ones, the demise, political demise. but he actually says this time, these, all his last elections. do you agree? that's the case? so we just had the, the say, but if he does well in these elections, does the possibility someone suggesting he could change the constitution and run again? what do you think? well, i think, you know, i mean the panel would agree that this right on the very front of pregnancy,

and he's a political genius not only and you get by this when he comes to international relations. his expertise in politics is one thing that i think everyone would agree that he has a mind. and so whether he will actually go for this, you know, when he said this is my last term, what do you mean by that? why did you say that? what was it, you know, why is the timing of those so important? you know, during the election campaign, but he may have really meant that he to, to get some support for his party. but he also wants to maybe see what will be the reaction coming from the people that are closely following his political career at the same time. whether, you know, it is not necessarily him that will be changing the constitution. but of course, you know, i agree, it has the parliament counting the cohort snap selection and still you will be able to run for the presidency for the 3rd term. in addition to that possibility of

a change in the constitution, if the parties are able to process so, you know how he said is the timing of it is the statement. i think the way to something that, you know, is political changes. he's able to put something out there and everyone discusses it until it becomes the until it in. right? so then you know all settings and it's translated into something that i can translate into action on it. do you think it could work against the fact that he says these is the last elections in this election? i mean, that's something that even though he's got 4 more years, might see him as a lame duck, particularly given the very bad economic situation in the country. to well i, i would say nobody can source and on hand store and or the election of any kind, save a snap election to have yourself granted at church or the end if, even if that cause, if even if the parliament takes the decision for

a snap election to enable them to the other side, which is one of the alternatives, and that would take place very close to 2020 a not queen is in no way eh and and so as long as if you mama levin's and that's i think the chris crucial part of this the outcome of this election. that's me. ready the experience tomorrow, you've got to go to the loses and it can remember all the wins that is going to force add on. probably wrong himself in 2028 rather than going through the hassle. picking up a, an alternate to an air of some sort. because if you my whole reading this time again. uh, that would mean that he's available for me to vote candidates and nobody, nobody in the party circle right now. it seems has the ability to to be touch,

it came to the other then add on that. okay. you might already know or like i said that the election cycle is not going to be older. if you mama lorenz. and that's the most important part of the selection. thank you very much to all of you today. all guess ahmed. cast them hon. that'd be by some. the mehmet chillik preliminary results are expected about $1900.00 g m t on sunday will cover them all knowledge is 0. and you can find all the details plus analysis on a website, which is there a dot com. we always welcome your comments, suggestions, and if you must complaints, go to our facebook page, that's facebook dot com, forward slash ha inside story, or find this on x or y as a inside story from a team here and go home, please stay safe. i'll see you very soon by the why have american evangelicals become this real strongest? background?

is us president joe find the right to stand with this real with no red line? as long as us support continues, is there anything that can stop is real? solve on concept from going on in definitely a quizzical look at us politics. the bottom line. these people are practicing skills needed to save lives in the heat of battle. they are roughly divided equally between men and women. if a woman meets the physical criteria and has the right to cycle logical motivation, she can absolutely perform tasks at the level of any man as a dentist. oh yeah. has registered for possible military service if needed, or look at my toll and someone will be hit as a person to get the medical background. i have to know what to do is ukraine begins the 3rd year of his full scale war. there was a growing awareness of the need from old military posts and now i do believe women have a high volume in the army. and for some positions they're more suitable even according to my milk a month. so there is a place for each woman,

but i understand else that that it should be very hard for mothers to leave that handling. because the, when it rains on it's a decision, increasing numbers of women may be called on to make the the whole rahman, you're watching the opposite of and use our life. and while headquarters here in the coming up in the next 60 minutes, famished and frail children in northern gulls were wasting away. it's tough to say that i'm unable to treat mound nutrition without food or medicine. the killed while waiting for food 20 to palestinians die into attacks during a deliveries in going.
