>> turkey's ruling party suffers a stunning set back at the ballot box and now faces the grueling task of building a coalition. welcome to the headquarters here in doha, south korea with more cases of the deadly mers virus. and migrants keep coming. >> i always wanted to make

games. >> who said coding is boring? we meet kids who are getting a head start to becoming computer geniuses. >> turkey's ruling party has been stripped of its majority ending it's 12-year long ruling party rule. we're live from ankara. things in turkey pretty uncertain right now can the ak party form a coalition? >> well, in certain it is, indeed lauren, that's how difficult it that question. to convince the three opposition parties to join them. realistically they only have two

options, the chf and the liberal secular party strongly ruled out they would be with them and impossible to win them over. the options are to go with the kurdish hdp. if they were to go with the kurds, that would be seen as a very bold move and in line that kurds have been marginalized in turkey many years and by doing so that could lose some of the akp, the nationalist support that it has. one of the reasons of yesterday's setback was the fact that the ak party had invested a lot in the peace process which has angered some nationalists. pulling them from the ak party to the mhp. if they were to go with the mhp that would be a kiss of death to that coalition. it is a very difficult situation they find themselves in regardless of the fact that it

did win the elections but have fallen short of the majority they need. now they're faced with a very very tough choice, indeed, laura. >> absolutely. a big setback for the akp. but celebrations for the hdp. what made them so popular? >> well, a number of reasons and analysts are pointing to a variety of factors that lend to that success. they point to the leader, a young lawyer, very charismatic who has been able to appeal beyond the kurdish core base, maybe to some leftest liberals as well. it's also important to know that the party despite its success

the economy economy and it needs a change to win a third term let alone a fourth term. also some people say that the ak party has hit a glass cerealing in terms of its achievement and fails to present anything new to bring in new votes. there were a number of factors that led into it. a number of analysts will be investigating and deciphering those. but the fact is that the ak party finds itself in unchartered territories and will they be able to come out of this while maintaining the support base that they managed to cling on to in yesterday's elections, a and possibly be able to build on that. >> thank you for that. now the president of south korea has vowed to take all necessary action to contain the

middle east mers syndrome. >> the core of current preventive measures, serving the link and blocking additional contact. since the situation is continuously changing a prompt decision is needed for this. so immediate task force team should be made up using experts with authority to current act quickly in the future. >> six people have now died from the virus, schools across the country have been closed in order to contain the spread. >> it's not a typical monday. home with mum, following instructions from school to stay indoors. this means. cramming sessions either. so a chance to relax against a background of national anxiety. >> this is a nationwide problem i follow the decision. i don't feel that it's that

series. a few days ago my daughter got a fever. the school asked her to get tested but she was fine. >> despite the fact that there has been no confirmed transmission of mers outside of a hospital or clinic no schools remain open. a 16-year-old who caught the virus in hospital was confirmed. >> the government said so far mers infections have been confined to hospital environment, nonetheless 1800 schools are closed. public events have been canceled. people are staying away from crowded places. it all reflects growing concern as a number of cases grows each day. >> the government has announced new measurements after some have ignored instructions to isolate themselves. >> we use mobile phone tracking in a couple of places. for those we need to find we'll ask

the location tracking and get the data. >> authorities have decided on more transparency, revealing the names and locations of hospitals and clinickings where suspected mers patients have sought treatment. the next few days will be critical. if the numbers start to come down the mers outbreak will be a limited hospital-based event. if not it means that the virus got out to the public at large in the early days when the response was slow making it a much more serious threat to public health. >> politicians from italy's north are refusing to accommodate any more migrants. a number of people arriving in the country this year have passed 50,000, 6,000 were rescued over the weekend alone. leaders say they'll defy the

center left government-- ♪ ♪ >> let's listen in to president obama who is speaking at the g-7 summit. >> extraordinary hospitality here at the g 7 summit. my stay has been extraordinary. i wish i could stay longer. one of the pleasures of being president is scouting out places that you want to come back to, where you don't have to spend all your time in a conference room. the set something breathtaking. our german friends have been absolutely wonderful and the success of this summit is a tribute to their outstanding work. the g 7 represents some of the largest economies in the world but in our g 7 partners the united states also embraces some of our strongest allies and closest friends in the world. so even as we work to promote the growth that creates jobs and opportunity, we're also here to stand up for the fundamental principles that we share as

democracyies for freedom for peace, for the right of nations and peoples to decide their own destiny for universal human rights and the dignity of every human being. i'm pleased that here we have shown that on the most pressing global challenges america and our allies stand united. we agree that the best way to sustain the global economic recovery is to focus on jobs and growth. that's what i'm focused on in the united states. on friday we learned that our economy created another 280,000 jobs in may. the strongest month of the year so far. and more than 3 million new jobs over the past year. nearly the fastest pace in over a decade. we've now seen five straight years of private-sector job growth. 12.6million new jobs created the longest streak on record. the unemployment rate is near it's lowest level in seven

years. wages for american workers continue to rise, and since i took office the united states has cut our deficit by two-thirds. in the global economy america's major source of strength. at the same time we recognize that the global economy, while growing, is still not performing at its full potential and we agreed on a number of necessary steps. here in europe we support efforts to find a path that enables greece to carry out key reforms and return to growth within a strong, stable, growing eurozone. i updated my partners in congress so we can move ahead with ttp and ttip here in europe. agreements to protect workers public safety and the environment. we continue to make progress towards a strong global climate agreement this year in paris. all the g-7 countries have now

put forward our posts 2020 targets for carbon emissions and we suggest others do so as well. we'll continue to meet finance commitments to help developing countries transition to low-carbon growth. as we've done in the u.s. the g 7 agreed on investment programs across the board and increase access to risk insurance to help developing countries respond to and recover from climate-related disasters. and building on the power africa initiative i launched two years ago we'll continue with programs in africa. the g-7 will remain strongly united in support for ukraine. we'll continue to provide economic support and technical assistance that ukraine needs as if moves ahead on critical reforms to transform its economy and strengthen it's democracy. as we've seen in recent days

russian forces continue to operate in eastern ukraine violating ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. this is now the second year in a row that the g 7 has met without russia. another instance of russia's isolation, and the g 7 will continue sanctions on russia for its aggression against ukraine. now it's important to recognize the russian economy has been seriously weakened. the ruble is down, inflation is up. the central bank has lost $150 billion in reserves. russian banks and firms are locked out of international markets. russian energy companies are struggling to transport the technologies they need for energy projects. firms have been cut off from key technologies. russia is in deep recession. russia's actions in ukraine are hurting russia, and hurting the russian people.

here at the g-7 we agree that even as we continue to seek a diplomatic solution, sanctions against russia will remain in place so long as russia continues to violate its obligations under the minsk agreements our european partners reaffirm that they'll maintain sanctions on russia until minsk agreement are fully implemented including the sectorial sanctions beyond july, and the g-7 is making it clear that we stand ready to impose additional sanctions against russia. beyond europe we discussed the negotiations over iran's nuclear program, and we remain united in the final stages of the talks. iran has historic opportunity to resolve the international community's concerns about its nuclear program and we agree that iran needs to seize that opportunity. our discussions with prime minister abady of iraq, president of tunisia and

president buhari of nigeria to address the threats of isil and boko haram. the d-7 countries agree to work together and with our partners. as many of the world's leading partners and global development joined by leaders of the ethiopia liberia and the africa union we discussed the maximized impact of our development partnerships. we agree to promote food security and nutrition part of our effort to lift 500 million in developing countries out of hunger and malnutrition by 2030. we'll continue to work with our partners in west africa to get ebola cases down to zero, and as part of our global health security agenda, i'm pleased that the g-7 made a commitment to help 60 countries to achieve targets to better prevent

detect and respond to future outbreaks before they become epidemics. finally i want to commend chancellor americael on expanding educational and economic opportunities for women and girls. the g-7 committed to expanding career training in our own countries and in developing countries that will help all of our nations prosper. again, i want to thank angela and the people of germany for their extraordinary hospitality. i leave you of confident when it comes to the key challenges of our time america and our key allyies stand shoulder to shoulder. with that i will take questions. and i'll start off with jeff mason. >> thank you mr. president after your meeting here you mentioned greece in your opening statement. do you believe the europeans are being too oh tough on greece in these talks and what needs to occur to makes sure there is a

deal and there is undue harm on the markets you mentioned about. and in an unrelated topic the french told reporters today that you said to g-7 leaders that you're concerned that the dollar is too strong. what did you say exactly and are you concerned that the dollar is too strong? >> first of all don't believe unnamed quotes. did i not say that. and i make a practice of not commenting on the daily fluctuations of the dollar or any other currency. with respect to greece, i think that not only are g7 partners, but the imf and other institutions represented here feel a sense of urgency in finding a path to resolve the situation there. and what it is going to require

is greece being serious about making some important reforms not only to satisfy creditors but more importantly, to create a platform whereby the greek economy can start growing again and prosper. and so the greeks are going to have to follow through and make some tough political choices that will be good for the long term. i also think that it will be important for the international community and the international financial agencies to recognize the extraordinary challenges that greece face, and if both sides are showing sufficient flexibility then i think we can get this problem resolved, but it will require some tough decisions for all involved, and we will continue to consult with all of the parties involved to encourage that kind of outcome.

>> do you think that will happen before the deadline? >> i think that everybody wants to make it happen, and they're working hard to get it done. >> thank you mr. president. how frustrated are you that after you personally raised your concerns about cyber security with the chinese president that a massive attack seems to have originated with china? was the chinese government involved? and as a sports fan can you give us your reaction to the fifa scandal? >> with respect to fifa, i cannot comment on a pending case by our attorney general. i will say that in conversations i've had here in europe people think it is very important for fifa to be able to operate with integrity and transparency and accountability. and so as the investigation and

charges proceed i think we have to keep in mind that although football soccer, depending on which side of the atlantic you live on, is a game, it's also a massive business. it is a source of incredible national pride and people want to make sure that it operates with integrity. the united states, by the way since we keep getting better and better at each world cup we want to make sure that a sport that is gaining popularity is conducted in an up right manner. i don't want to discuss because we haven't publicly unveiled who we think may have engaged in

these cyberattacks, but i can tell you that we have known for a long time that there are significant vulnerabilities, and these vulnerabilities are going to accelerate as time goes by, both in systems within government and within the private sector. this is why it's so important that congress moves forward on passing cyber legislation cyber security legislation that we've been pushing for. over the last several years i've been standing up new mechanisms inside of government to investigate what happens and to start planning more effective solutions. part of the problem is that we've got very old systems, and we discovered this new breach in opm precisely because we initiated this process of inventorying and upgrading these

old systems to address existing vulnerabilities. what we're doing is going agency by agency, and figuring out what can we fix with better practices and better computer hygiene by personnel, and where do we need new systems and infrastructure to protect information not just government employees and government activities, but importantly where there is interface between government and the american people. this is going to be a big project, and we're going to have to keep on doing it because both state and non-state actors are sending everything that they've got at trying to breach these systems. in some cases it's non-state actors who are engageing in criminal activity and potential theft. in the case of state actors,

they're probing for intelligence or in some cases trying to bring down systems in pursuit of their various foreign policy objectives. in either case we'll have to be much more aggressive and much more attentive. this problem is not going to go away. it will accelerate. that means we have to be as nimble as aggressive and well resourced as those who are trying to break into these systems. justin? >> thanks, mr. president. i want to ask about two things that were on the agenda at the g-7 this weekend. the first is the islamic state. you said you had a meeting with prime minister cameron you assessed what was working and what wasn't. what is not working in the fight against the islamic state and today president abady requested assistance to iraq.

and secondly on trade chancellor merkel was pleased that you would give fast track authority i wonder if you gave assurance that it would go through the house. if it doesn't what does it say about your ability to achieve meaningful. >> i think we're going to get it done. we'll get a vote soon because it's the right thing to do. with respect to isil, we have made significant progress in pushing back isil from areas in which they they had occupied or disrupted local populations but we've also seen in areas like ramadi where they're displaced in one place, and they come back in another. they're nimble, they're aggressive and they're

opportunistic. one of the areas that we have to improve is the speed with which we're training iraqi forces. where we've trained iraqi forces directly and equipped them, and we have a train and assist posture they operate effectively. where we haven't morale, lack of equipment etc. may undermine the effectiveness of iraqi security forces. we want to get more iraqi security forces trained fresh well equipped, focused. and president abady wants the same thing. so we're reviewing a range of plans for how we might do that essentially accelerating the number of iraqi forces that are properly trained and equipped, and have a focused strategy and good leadership. and when a finalized plan is presented to me by the pentagon, then i will share it with the

american people. we don't yet have a complete strategy because it requires commitment on the part of the iraqis as well of how recruitment takes place how training takes place. the details have not been worked out. >> is it fair to say additional u.s. military personnel is under consideration? >> i think what is fair to say is that all the countries in the international coalition are prepared to do more to train iraqi security force it is they feel likes if they feel that additional work has been taken advantage of. one of the things we're still seeing in iraq places where we've got more training capacity than we have recruits. so part of my discussion with prime minister abady was how do we make sure that we get more

recruits in, a big part of the answer there is reach out to sunni tribes. we've seen sunni tribes who are not only willing and prepared to fight isil, but have been successful at rebuffing isil, but it has not been happening as fast as it needs to. one of the efforts that i'm hoping to see out of prime minister abady and the iraqi legislature when they're in session is to move forward on national guard law that would help to devolve some of the security efforts in places like anbar to local folks and to get those sunni tribes involved more rapidly. this is part of what help defeat aqi the precursor of isil during the iraq war in 2006.

without that kind of local participation even if you have a short-term success it's very hard to hold those areas. the other area where we've got to make a lot of more progress is on stemming the flow of foreign fighters. now, you'll recall that i hosted an u.n. general's security council meeting specifically on this issue and we've made some progress but not enough. we are still seeing thousands of foreign fighters flowing in to first syria and then oftentimes ultimately into iraq. not all of that is preventable but a lot of it is preventable if we've got better cooperation better intelligence, if we're monitoring what is happening at the syria border more

effectively. this is an area where we've been seeking deeper cooperation with turkey authorities who recognize it's a problem but haven't fully ramped up the capacity that they need. this is something that i think we've got to spend a lot of time on. if we can cut off some of that foreign fighter flow, then we're able to isolate and wear out isil forces that are already there because we're taking a lot of them off the battlefield but if they're being replenished then it doesn't solve the problem over the long term. the final point that i emphasize to mr. abady is the political agenda of inclusion remains as important as the military fight that's out there. if sunnies, kurds and shia all feel as if their concerns are being addressed and that operating within a legitimate political structure can meet

their need for security prosperity nondiscrimination then we're going to have a much easier time. the good news is prime minister abady is very committed to that principles but is inheriting a legacy of mistrust between various groups in iraq. he has had to take political risks and so we've going to continue to monitor that and support those who are on the right side of the issue. >> thank you mr. president. you mentioned that the u.s. and european allies reached a consensus on extending the sanctions against russia. is there a consensus about what specifically the next step should be if russia continues to violate the minsk agreement? and also, can you deter russian aggression in other parts of the

eastern europe without a permanent u.s. presence? secondly i want to ask you about the possibility of court battle over your actions in immigration could extend late in your term. do you think there is anything more you can do for the people who would have benefited from that program and who are now in limbo, and how do you view the possibility of your term ending without accomplishing your goals on immigration? >> on ukraine russia and minsk there is strong consensus that we need to keep pushing russia to abide by the terms the minsk agreement. need to encourage ukraine to keep its agreements under minsk. until that is completed sanctions remain in place. there was discussion about additional steps
