strategy. >> barack obama says the coalition needs a full-out guarantee before it can drive out i.s.i.l. plus. the coral reef. >> plus, like chief thomas b aff says fifa needs a clarified real to clear up its image. >> hello there, thank you for joining us. turkey faces weeks of political instability after voters stripped akp of its ruling majority in sunday's elections. recep tayyip erdogan has vowed to move for this but other

parties have vowed to resist. the largest vote share about 41% but this only delivered the party 258 seats. the main opposition party that's the center left republican people's party or the chp came second with the 132 seats. while the nationalist movement party or mhp will have 30 seats and the kurdish democratic party, a significant break through, to actually interpret. jamal al saleh has more. >> the day after elections in turkey first time since coming to power in 2002, the ak party found itself without enough votes to rule on its own but

sunday's results were declared a victory not only for them but for turkish address. >> translator: a decision of our nation is the final decision. the will of the naish is the final vote. here i am addressing you from the balcony of the ak party the platform of democracy in turkey and the will of this nation will be put in practice. no one should have any doubt about that pim. >> despite winning the elections the akp needs to find support from one of the opposition appeared if it wants to stay in power. it so reach out to the other parties, but that could be a concern. >> translator: most of the ak parties have nationalist view. the ak party would better off considering a coalition with

mhp. >> but likely doing so would have serious consequences. which up until now has been a success story for akp sphwhrp theakp. >> with or without the coalition, the peace process would be affected by the elections results. >> it is not only the akp that finds itself in concern. failing that however early elections could take place and that has the positions of increasing the current state of polarization. jamal el shael. al jazeera ankara. >> according to the organization for safety and cooperation in

europe osce, the group has been elevating the parliamentary process, also says restrictions on media freedom needs to be looked at. >> the accusation obliges him to be nonpartisan and perform his duties without bias and the increasing pressure and intimidation on media and journalists critical until now the ruling party by public figures and political actors. >> success of the pro-kurdish people's democratic party. by appealing beyond the kurdish voters and minority groups, the party managed to get 13% of the vote. confidentably passed representation in parliament. >> in turkey's largest kurdish city there are hopes the party

into parliament will bring new momentum into a stalled three year peace process. 40 years of fighting between turkish state and kurdish separatists have cost 40,000 lives. >> everything should be done to reestablish the peace process. we all live under the same flag, peace and fraternity is what turkey needs. >> they should keep their promises for freedom of thought and religion and establishing justice in turkey. when people get more powerful sometimes they do not keep tear promises and the akp disappointed us. >> though the image of hdp leader is woafnl for woven into carpet, it is indication of how many faith people have in this pro-democracy figure. >> we have to bring peace to

turkey. the second thing is, we have economic problems now in turkey. and we have to solve the problems. because if you don't solve that problem people will go onto the street again. have. >> reporter: minority group and ethnic turks were also persuaded to throw their support behind the hdp. that's how it jumped over the threshold winning 18 parliamentary seats. to give 14% at first vote is remarkable but if no government is formed, there will be fresh elections and the hdp will have to pull off the same result again and work hard to make sure be representation is not short livid. al jazeera. >> could prove difficult the main opposition party that is center left republican people's

party or chp is unlikely to enter a grand coalition. after tacks by akp. the second party increase plans to increase the president's power. then the kurdish minority strongly disagrees with the akp on election reform and like the others has said it will not prop up an akp government. joining us live from washington d.c. author of the rise of turkey the 21st century first muslim power. thank you so much for joining us here on al jazeera. >> pleasure to be with you. >> just reading how some of those parties you know would go and who they would and wouldn't form an alliance with. it doesn't look like the akp is going to find it iz to easy to join

an loins. >> true. formed by parties from outside to seek confidence or it might be a coalition government less likely scenario perhaps as what you figured out seems implausible to bring about a coalition. in any case, one thing is for sure after having been run by a single party turkey is entering a train of minority governments and we know no coalition or minority government has ever lasted its full term. that means turkey will definitely have a mid term election, since it's very likely the government will not last its term. finally, turkey usually witnesses economic and political cries crisis, will the

opposition paint the akp as a problem and gain from elections. very unusual period of turkish politics that we are witnessing right now. >> on the announcement of those results it seems like you are absolutely dismissing any kind of possibility of there being a coalition government that would last more than a few months. >> maybe a year, i would say i would be more gows than generous than that, definitely not the full term. it will be a miracle in regards to turkish political trends. one dream coalition is if the two largest parties got together akp and opposition chp, it would bring the countries to disparate halves. the islamists and secular liberal half they have to live together that this country belongs to both of them and just

one is not going to leave numerically and demographically to bring forward social harmony and perhaps a new constitution but i think that's overy low possibility. more plausible would be a coalition of the right where akp joins anational party two left parties when added together do not form a majorities in the parliament and the coalition of left and right as i've just highlighted bringing together the two largest political forces would be ideal what also would be the least plausible in the turkish context. >> the party that certainly did well is hdp the pro-kurdish party, they have never done better than 10% which are they needed to get into the parliament now they have done 13. for example they have the only openly gay candidate in turkey's parliament and more women ran in the hdp than any other party.

what change do you think their concrete presence in turkish politics is going to have? >> be that's a be great question. turkey is a very high threshold the being turks instead ran independence and it had only 2 dozen feet in a 550 feet legislature which meant nothing. others could ignore them and turkish demands. as a result they never integrated themselves into the rest of the country. they ran on a liberal alliance reaching out to country answer ethnic and political and religious minorities, including reach out to women half of the country's list included women there were armenians and other christians that became m pforts and all of thisps.the liberal

movement is growing. this is a margin of erdogan's be democratic success. he has createhis own nemesis that middle class demands for liberal free freedoms. 80 seats in the parliament four times what they would get in the past. you may disagree with kurdish politics but you cannot argue with it anymore. i think by the same token the future of the kurdish national movement is now intertwiend with intertwined they can only become a significant force if they ally with the liberals. the liberals realize they can become a force to are democratize turkey further.

beyond the short term stability is the intresk positive development in turkey that the occurreddish movement and the liberal democratic movement are fromintertwined. >> over the weeks and months, director of the research program at the washington institute you thank you so much for is share your views with us. >> thank you barbara. >> activists say the injured have been taken to turkish hospital he but since march turkey has closed all entrance and exit points because of the election we just talked about. a new turkish government whoever it may be. osama ben javit reports. >> a bomb has just been dropped

on this section of syria. dozens injured and many people killed. the government of president bashar al-assad has just dropped where barrel bombs in recent weeks. the town has a large number of people who escaped from the nearby city, injured were taken to hospitals in turkey. but that's been difficult to do since march when the turkish government closed all entrance and exit points from syria. for the thousands of those displaced in northern syria the only way out of the conflict remains shut. of the crossings these two were the only one under the control of the syrian rebels. considered vital for supplies in and out of syria for opposition fighters. >> the border crossing has been closed by turkish authorities

who only told us one day. also the passengers can't travel or go anywhere. >> it's hard for many people to return to the border. syria's pain opposition group says their host no other humanitarian situation and they are hopeful that the borders will remain open soon. >> border crossings after the parliamentary elections. >> besides security there are also concerns about penal joining islamic state of iraq and the levant. is and i.s.i.l. fighters returning through the turkish border. but border crossings mean since e-civilians are stranded. i.s.i.l. is simultaneously advancing towards opposition held areas north of aleppo and idlib. across syria only shells remain of what once were busy towns. this is the neighborhood north of damascus. it has been bombed for months.

over the hundreds of thousands only be several dozen remain. >> it was not just this building all of jabar has been targeted. >> similar stories are repeated all across syria. president assad's government has shrunk but remains. and what they govern has been turned most into ruins. osama ben javid al jazeera. >> won't being talking about reconciliation with houthi rebels insted, be abd rabbu mansour hadiabd rabbumansour hadi says he will be speaking with be houthi leaders. houthi have never said no to political dialogue, but insist that no foreign sides should influence the decisions that will result in building the new yemen. we want a yemeni people decide

>> the u.n. envoy to libya has unveiled the peace plan. the meeting in moark morocco fighting for control. >> this is not an agreement of winners or losers. but one in which the only true victors are the people of libya. ladies and gentlemen you have before you a unique opportunity to pool put your country back from the brink of conflict and an endless cycle of violence. the only viable way is for you to join hands and work side by side in shaping the future and giving an opportunity to the people of libya.

>> our correspondent hashem ahelbarra has joined us, hashem, another one here in morocco what we have been seeing over the past months as well is waves of immigrants that have arrived on european shores. we'll be talking about that more detail later in the program many of them through libya because of the instability there. do you think that factor will mean there's more pressure trt international community to make sure the two governments and all the militias attached to them will get to the negotiating table and come up with a solution? >> reporter: that's a main factor one of the reasons the international community is willing to see a political settlement soon in libya. you have also the growing vice of i.s.i.l. in the eastern parts of the country. the international community and europe in particular are concerned that i.s.i.l. might choose libya as a platform for

launch attacks against neighboring countries. but the problem is that for time being it's been almost impossible to break the political impasse. you have a libya two governments. one in tripoli and one into in tobruk. bringing them to negotiate a settlement has been elusive for the time being. the government in tripp 30 says it that is backing of the people in libya because it's been backed by the libyans. the one in convinces all the parties in tobruk and in tripoli that it's time to chart a new path have a national government, i can't seefully sign of a genuine political settlement in the near future because the divide is really

huge. >> definitely a challenge there for bernardino leon. as we were mentioned there libya was one of the main gateways into europe and it is estimated almost 5900 migrants were rescued from the mediterranean sea over the weekend as they traveled from north africa into europe. 90 pregnant women 60 children were traveling without a parent. there have been similar scenes at other southern italian ports at the rescue ships came to shore. hoda abdel hamid sent us this update from catania. >> 6,000 migrants were rescued over saturday and sunday. 30 different rescue operations, a huge challenge for the italian

authorities. most of these migrants will go through a reception center but five or 600 migrants will have to be flown to mainland italy will have toand scattered to wherever they win accepted. we heard from the northern league today that they were warning mayors against hosting and receiving more of these migrants. one of the leaders of the northern league actually said, quote unquote can a there will be repercussions even though he didn't explain exactly what he meant. now we're just at the beginning of the summer. italy is bracing itself for a continued influx of migrants. and when politics comes to mix it will be extremely complicated for authorities to act as swiftly as they need to. >> many of the african migrants

heading for a new life in europe are from eritrea. u.n. investigation says the authorities are keeping their residents under control through a pervasive system. its report says eritrea effectively enslaves people by a system known as national service, which involves arbitrary detention sexual torture and absence of leave. even though anyone who tries to leave the country is considered a traitor more than 5,000 flee every month. >> we seldom see human rights violation of the scope and scale as we see in eritrea today. it is not surprising to us that these days, a large proportion of those crossing the mediterranean and using other irregular routes to reach europe are eritreans. they are fleeing a country ruled

not by law but by fear. >> joining us life in the studio is dr. berhanius melash, sir thank you so much for joining us here on al jazeera. you were actually part of this human -- u.n. human rights report. they asked you some questions ever the time you were in eritrea, what you lived through. >> i left air eritrea in 1999. sings my organization's campaign for religious freedom in general for human rights. asked me about the general condition of human rights. and also about all these prisoners, a lot of them are my friends. >> and i read through some of your testimony and you say in your case religion was an

aggravating factor, the fact you're a christian. more widely, what kind of human rights violations did you talk about in the report? and did you witness? >> the u.n. commission put it rightly. the government governs not by rule of law but by fear. when i say that, everybody who lives in that country lives in fear. so -- good and imprisonment because you were yourself in prison that's where you saw many of the abuses. >> in my case it was in the ethiopian region, abuse in eritrea we have long history for past 40, 50 years so in my case it was in 1982. but still the abuses continue. so there is -- there is no be be you never know when they come

and arrest you. i have friends who have been in prison for over ten years for no reason some of them for being of peace for pastors for just being christians. >> how difficult is it getting information out of the country? we are seeing more and more migrants from eritrea does that give us a clearer picture of what's going on in eritrea the story of these migrants? >> yes, especially in the past two, three years, with the people leaving the country. because there is no hope. people were waiting for might be change. but now i think the people have given up. because that's why they are taking this risk. >> speaking of this there is this u.n. human rights report, i suppose that could put some pressure on the government and also one would think that a lot of the european countries that are seeing these migrants would also then put pressure on the

country. do you see that having any effect on the government there? >> i think it will. because we never had such prr on prir pressure on our government that's why the governor can do whatever he wants to do because he can do it without being responsible for his action he. >> what pressure do you think the countries can put. >> well, evenput? >> especially if we have sanctions on political leaders on the president that would put pressure on the government. >> berhani ash melash thank you for being with us. >> thank you for having me. >> still to come on this hour we're going to tell you about the women and children who walked for weeks to escape south

mexico city. it's no secret, pena nieto is fantastically unpopular. did the voters vote for somebody they know instead of the alternative? >> it may be a little bit of that but it also is there are not so many options that people found that much more appealing and despite his unpopularity enrique pena nieto sits atop an established party. it's just his party but an loirnz with aalliance with a couple of other parties. his party actually lost a couple of seats. in this multiparty system where it's not necessarily over the 50% mark and the winner takes or you have another vote, if you can cobble together a simple

majority you can keep together your party. his party has been very smart to have a coalition of sorts with the green party, it is quite a conservative party it pushes for some draconian measures, such as death penalty anden harsh treatment of prisoners it runs a line between the perry andpri andto some voters a very cynical one. >> an independent candidate actually win one of the 9 state governorships, how much does that change the dynamic of mexican politics? >> well, you're talking about the governor-elect of the northern rich industrial state of nuev rvetioneve leone jaime many

course is why. >> you have to think gawky as women, and the penalty area as the kitchen and women and goal keepers know exactly where they belong and that was the start of my course. >> the turf war that preceded this tournament is also revealing. a group of top players threatened to sue governed body fifa citing location. they would never be asked to play on artificial turf. which can cause injury. football association in england took the decision in 1921 to ban women from using any of their facilities saying the game was quite unsuitable for meaflt and females and ought not to be encouraged. that ban was lifted 50 years

later in 1971. the country has now a highly respected national team. but sexism is still pushing female players away. >> still many players want to quit the game because they have been abused at school. because they are better players than the boys they must be gay. >> 2014 when fifa lifted its ban in playing in head scarves opened up new opportunities for previously secluded players. >> the more models we see out there the more likely younger girls are to take this up, not just as players but the coaches referees and those within the administration of the game as well. >> hundreds of thousands of fans are now getting a chance to
