turkey's ruling party suffer as set back in the ballot box and suffers the grueling task of billing a coalition. ♪ hello from al jazeera headquarters in doha i'm jane and also ahead stopping the spread schools are closed in seoul as south korea records more cases of the deadly mers virus. forgotten war and we report from the world's youngest country where there are fears of the fate of thousands of children plus. nick clark in cuba home to some of the world intact

environment including some spectacular coral reefs. ♪ we begin in turkey where the ruling party stripped of majority in parliament bringing end to a 12 year long single party rule and we will be live in turkey and how things now look in parliament. this is what is at stake 550 seats and needed 276 to rule along but this is what happened with 41% of the vote they have just 258, the main opposition party, the chp will get 132 seats while the nationalists movement party or mhp sits on 80 seats. the big winner is the pro-kurdish people's democratic party, for the first time it is clear 10% threshold needed to enter parliament and it too will

have 80 seats and have 45 days to build a coalition but all three opposition parties said they will not join forces with them. and jamal is live for us and what can they do, jamal? >> well jane there was a number of scenarios that the ak party can try to embark on and one is to try to form a coalition however the parties and mhp and all said they would not join the coalition however this is politics and politics in turkey is not different than politics in other countries where people can change their mind and convinced and deals can be made. another option they is try and form what is known as minority government and mean they would not have a coalition and would have backing of a party in parliament but under the condition that the government of ak party forms will not be able to pass any laws and be some sort of government that would

just run the country until other elections take place. obviously the most likely scenario in the current, if we consider the current situation in turkey that the most likely scenario would be early parliamentary election and it would be a hung parliament and early pearl menry elections and things could change with different behind the doors deal that could take place in only the coming few days we will reveal how things will develop. >> and i'm sure the kurds are still absorbing their stunning victory and what does this mean for them ultimately? >> well it has given them a sense of stage jane because they have the ability to be king makers if they were to accept a coalition proposal with the ak party and therefore that would give very strong majority to that coalition or have the ability to essentially paralyze turkey's parliament and talking about a community that

historically has been marginalized or historically complained about discrimination. now, essentially holding a key to power because if they refuse to enter coalition with the ak party it's very unlikely, probably impossible they would enter coalition because of the people who are dead against the kurds and dead against peace process and mhp got a lot of support this time around because of disenfranchise supporters who are unhappy with the peaceful approach to kurdish issues and htp has a lot of power right now because it sits on this fork rather on this two-part entranceway either if they were to go towards coalition and that would strengthen the ak party or if they refuse you would have a hung parliament. >> thanks for that. syria's main opposition group in exile hope as new government in turkey would reopen vital border

crossings, in march turkey closed all entry and exit points ahead of elections and thousands of syrian refugees are believed to be stranded as we report. >> reporter: these syrians have just found out they cannot enter turkey, since march all entry and exit points from syria to turkey have been shot out of the crossings they were the only ones under the control of syrian rebels and considered vital for supplies to north syria under the control of opposition fighters and thousands of displaced syrians and refugees this is their only way out of the conflict. >> translator: our border crossing has been closed by turkish authorities who told us one day before closure that relief cannot go through and passengers cannot travel or go anywhere. >> reporter: every one is not able to keep coming back and some tried to enter turkey illegally but because of

stricter border patrols they were caught or shot at and they crossed the border without explaining how or why it will remain closed and this is the other border crossing that was closed ahead of elections in the turkey and they host no humanitarian situation and hopeful the crossings will open soon. >> translator: there are promises from the turkish government to open the border crossings after the parliamentary elections. and this is what many people are running from fighters of islamic state of iraq and levante are advancing to opposition held areas north of al aleppo and increased bombing here and nearby villages and newly elected government in turkey about to take charge many is syrians on that border are hoping it will reopen, al

of pigs. >> reporter: you probably have heard that wherever you go in the extraordinary island nation you will see things that resonate from a long time gone. travel 2 1/2 hours south of havana and you come to a historic stretch of coast, the bay of pigs rooted in cuban identity is the scene of victory over u.s. backed mercenaries in 61 and this is years of isolation of the pristine coral reef and around the world 50% of coral reefs have disappeared and it's a different story in cuba waters where marine systems have the authority to thrive. >> cuba in enormous program of environmental protection, world leading so here in cuba they are protecting 25% of their waters in marine protected areas and that compares to maybe about 9% currently in the united states

and only 2% worldwide. >> the lack of chemical fertilizers in agriculture meant there is very little toxic runoff into the ocean. it's almost like a time machine going back in time to see what these coral reef eco systems used to look like and that really gives me hope for the future. >> reporter: the further out to see you go the marine life grows. >> i see this as a great opportunity to help cuba leapfrogging over all those mistakes the rest of us have made. >> reporter: right here is another pristine eco system intact and clean and totally unpolluted. there is a batch of wetlands one of the most extensive areas of diversity that remained and lagoons and vast area of man grove and shallow waters is a

nursery for marine life. >> we are watching a small area and you go there and you have kilometers and kilometers of the same environment and we receive plenty of solar energy. it's just a well protected area in general. >> reporter: wealth and beauty of cuba's environment is staggering and a huge source of potential revenue especially from eco tourism but the trick is tapping the wealth without destroying the integrity, bay of pigs cuba. director of the global marine program at the world life wildlife funds and says needs to be more commitment from governments in protecting coral reefs. >> in a place like cuba where it looks like the human pressures are relatively less than the philippines or indonesia where i

have worked it's perhaps a little easier but most places it's much more complex and that we need two things we need stronger political will from governments and internationally and nationally and we need additional resources to help transition those places away from a stronger payment on the reef day in and day out where we can put in place marine protected areas that look over that and deal with the land based pollution and we can take the pressure out of the fish that are in the way. it's not a matter of having the scientific or technical solutions, we have those, it's a matter as i say of political will and governance and let's be clear of investment from outside. over 50% of the coral reefs are either gone or in dire straits so this is important and in terms of the hundreds of

millions of people who depend on coral reefs and associated eco systems everyday it's a looming catastrophe. imagine if we were talking about the removel of forests in south america, it's a catastrophe for those people in terms of their food and protein, in terms of their jobs livelihoods and aspirations for development. can you write computer code and teaching the skill is a priority around the world and hong kong there is a campaign to make it compulsory and we went to an academy where the kids cannot get enough of it. >> reporter: it's a saturday morning and school may be finished for the week but this class is still in session and the lesson is computer coding. >> coding is building stuff and

learn program which is 21st century literacy. >> reporter: with apps and technology so much a part of our daily lives now it's no surprise in hong kong there is a campaign to make coding to be a part of the school curriculum and others have it on the agenda and now it's a computer program in school but the enthusiasm is clearly there, this year a group of 1,000 students from hong kong broke the world record for the most people coding at the same time. and now coders want the government to commit. >> i'm a believer of coding being something that every kid should learn at the early stages so hong kong schools are far from having something like that in the curriculum. >> right now i'm telling the computer what to do. >> for those parents who are not waiting around there are now more options than ever for
