parliamentary seats for the first time with 12% of the vote. jamal reports from the a.k.p. party headquarters. >> reporter: thousands of a.k.p. party supporters gathered outside the party headquarters to celebrate yet another election victory. but this time, despite the jubilation of the crowd, there was a sense of disappointment. they were hoping to come here and celebrate a victory that would have at least insured their party rein government that. sunday's lexes appear to have delivered a major upset. for the first time since coming to power 13 years ago the a.k.p. party failed to get enough votes to rula their own if they want to remain in government they have to form a low kicks. >> translator: the a p.k.k. p party is the winner and inning fibs firstfinishedfirst in this election. nobody should make a victory out of an election loss. everyone should reassess their selves. >> reporter: one of the biggest criticisms of the a.k.p. party

in the latest months was it was eroding democracy. it was prove that such accusations were basically they say. there was disappointment at the main opposition c.h.p. that fell well short of the 35% target they had hoped to. but party leaders it seemed were taking solace in the a.k.p. party's misfortunes. >> translator: we ended a heavy-handed era through democratic means democracy has won. >> reporter: that's what everyone will be waiting to find out. whether some sort of coalition government will be formed and if so with who. will the a.k.p. opt to partner up with the kurdish h.d.p. or try to form a government with the ultra nationalist m.h.p. a move that could signal the end of the peace process with the kurdish armed group the p.k. p.k.k. if the government is for the formed the turks could have to vote again in parliamentary lexes possibly before end of the

year. even those results have dealt a blow to the a.k.p. party. the supporters continued so that i that they are optimistic and fully back the party's leadership. however that leadership may have to rethink some of its policies and approach if it is to regain control of the parliament and be able to governor once again on its own. al jazerra turk at this. turkey. let's go to bernard smith he's live for us. bernard, there is not what erdogan or his party wanted. what will happen now as far as trading is concerned? >> reporter: well, this is it, certainly for the a.k.p. party jane, we are in uncharted territorial, political territory think waters.

the a.k.p. party has ruled unchallenged for 34 years and never had to con contemplate forming a coalition government according to all of the immediate in turkey that's what looks to be on the table it. can either try form a co linc or rule as a minority government but it's 18 seats short of even a simple majority. so that will be different. this is the prospect further down the line of fresh elections elections. it was such a divisive campaign, many in angry places. there doesn't seem to be an need natural coalition partner for them to work with. if there is a cabinet meeting later this morning where prime minister will go over the election results with his cabinet colleagues and then we should get more of an indication of whether they will seek to form a coalition whether as i say they'll try to have the minority government and whether they may even push for fresh

elections further down the line. but turkey has had minority governments before. before the a.k.p. party swept to power and a lot of turks are nervous about the prospect of going back to those destabilizing days that they were in turkey, jane. >> the opposite end of the happy scale the kurds' massive victory for them. what does this ultimately mean there, bernard? >> reporter: this was a huge gamble by the htp under the leadership. they needed to beat this 10% threshold to get representation in parliament f they didn't manage it, no m.p.s at all. in fact they have done way beyond that. over 13% and perhaps more than 80mps ultimately in parliament. giving the kurds considerable political clout and for the first time a pro-kurdish party gets national representation in a turkish government. but the leader of the h.d.p., he really saw this result as a

referendum on under juan's am begins -- for a powerful presidential position. >> translator: discussion about his dictate ore ship, the presidential system have come to an end in turkey as of now. turkey has been able to step away from the brink of a disaster. they may be hoping to push further the peace process. it's been in the doldrums for the last couple of years but the h.d.p. is hoping one of the issues campaigned on was commitment to peace it's hoping it can push forward that peace process, jane. >> thanks for that, bernard smith. to mexico now. preliminary results show the president's ruling party has won congressional elections. it means that enrique peña nieto's p.r.i. mine tapes it's majority. it has been a has been under

beijing. what else did this report highlight, adrian? >> reporter: well, this report is an annual report and it's been issues every year since 1991. essentially, jane, it is china's government doing a self assessment on its human rights record so far. and it's given itself basically eight out of 10 on its scorecard. this looks not just at human rights but at standard of in china today the report makes the case already more rural cinemas and libraries and radio and tv stayings for ethnic minorities. but no mention, of course, of the dissidents that were arrestedded and detained in 2014. the report makes this point jane it says china has upheld its unique pattern of protecting human rights, in other words in, our definition of human rights we are making tremendous progress. well recently, i was in the

central chinese province where we found many complaints, many grievances amongst ordinary people, all of them related to corruption. and all of these complaints coming f their voice simply isn't being heard. onon the outskirts of the city the road is blocked. the occupants of this house are reviewing fuse to go move so the motor way is being built around them. they want more compensation. beneath the chinese flag, banners worn local officials to act within the law. but following months of threats and inning tim dog the owner is take nothing chances. >> translator: to be honest, i am scared. the thugs came to my home many times, at least 30 of them. mostly at night. last time they came and smashed our windows. >> reporter: her story is not unusual. and neither is this. documents containing what they

than they were 10, 20 years ago. people can travel overseas, they can go on holiday. there have been big improvements and it comes down as i say to that definition of human rights. yes, we know there could be improvements but we will soon get there. so, you know, china says we are not like the united states, we don't want to be like the united states in that respect. our concern is to make sure that the basic needs of the people are taken care of. they have food, and they have clothing and to that degree we have met those requirements. >> all right account thank you adrian brown in beijing. monday's world ocean day and hugh human activities are affecting marine life globally. one concern for scientists is the coral reefs rapidly disappearing because of over development and over fishing but if cuba tough conservation measures are having positive results, our environment editor nick clark has more. >> reporter: you probably have heard whenever you go in this

chemical fertilizers in agriculture has meant very little toxic runoff in to the ocean. >> it's almost like a time machine, going back in time to see what these coral reef ecosystems used to look like. and that really gives me hope for the future. >> reporter: further out to sea you go, so the abundance of marine life grows. >> i see this as a great opportunity at a very opportune moment in history to help cuba leap frog overall of those mistakes the rest of us have made. >> reporter: and right here it another pristine ecosystem. intact and clean and totally unpolluted. these wetlands are one of the most extensive areas of caribbean biodiversity that remain, there are lagoons and vast main grove swamp. it is a nursery for marine life. >> it is huge, here we are just
