party a clear mandate to governor, the views on the streets remain divided. turkey has spent the past five months without a proper government. added to the political instability and increase in bomb attacks and the slowing down of the economy not to mention a pollarized society. >> this result is not good for turkey future because this ak party will not protect democracy. >> the people have decided. god willing, this will be good for us. >> sunday's vote was framed by many media outlets as another referendum on president erd out wan. one of his advisors say people fail to understand politics' politics. >> he has provided leadership for this country for the last 13 years but most of his opponents have failed to read his leadership in a proper way, especially when you look at the international media reporting and political come men terry.

they always try to reduce the entire turkish politics to one man. >> erdouan and the ak party whaning, despite under's election victory, it appears those plans are now on hold. >> what is important right now is to, you know, revitalize the economy, to maintain political stability, deal with regional issues such as the war in syria, security threats in iraq, you know, isis, the pkk terrorism. we have to deal with these issues immediately. >> just a few hours after the jubilant celebrations, back to business as usual here at the ak party headquarters. the talk at hand is to formal government and fill a political void that has destabilized the country for the past five months. ankara international observers said the elections were free and peaceful but it is said

incidents of violence have hindered some to campaign freely. >> our main conclusions are that the elections offers voters a variety of choices, chalking secure environment happened with a high number of violent incidents including attacks against party members, campaigning staff and party prem ises, conflicting ability to campaign. the media under serious pressure in this country. journalists and media outlets for support of terrorism and information the president has had a chilling effect on media. >> omar asala has more from istanbul. >> they said campaigning would be marred by the crackdown. the government said the crackdown was on media outlets that are related to an

anti-government group led by a group that at a time government acs of trying to plot to overthrow the government. of course, the lead-up to the lesions was over shadowed by a wave of violence. there was suicide bombings and clashes in a number of areas between the turkish security forces as well as the outlawed kurdistan workers' party, the pkk and as well as the members of the islamic state of iraq in the levant. clearly, the observers were not happy with all of that and they said with regards to campaigning and the media the crackdown does not mean the international -- meet the international standards. when i spoke to one of those observers and i asked if they had seen any irregularities that could affect the process of voting, the answer was "no" so now, i think even the political parties did not make big

complaints about irregularities. but, however, we have to wait and see the official results to come. i think it will be more than a few days' time and we may have some complaints come being by different political parties and different candidates. so we have to wait and see. >> well, ibrahim from the center of turkey studies believes the government will focus on you deliver agnew peace process. president erduoan and led by prime minister would be convinced that unless the pooefings process beginsed kurd iish people, pkk, all will occur in syria and the prospects of turkey becoming a regional power having a strong influence over the neighbors would be diminished. it's very likely that the peacefulness will be reintroduced under a different branding but it has to be reintroduced and the government

rule start talking to pkk or hdp in this case to see if they could compromise and come up to -- come up with terms of settlement again. >> the russian airline whose flight crashed in egypt insists that technical failure is i want to blame. all 224 people on board were killed when the flight from sharmal sheik crashed. investigators say the plane broke in midair. in the early hours, a russian government plane carrying victims suched down in saint petersburg. all passengers and crew died. almost all of them were russian holiday makers. the bodies have been brought to a city mortuary where relatives are tasked with identifying their loved ones. at the crash site in egypt, aviation experts have been searching for clues as to the cause of the disaster.

psyc a cyclone has killed three people and injured around 100. more than homes were destroyed as thousands of people were evacuated from areas along the coast. it's expected to make landfall in mukala early on tuesday. the cyclone is believed to be the most powerful storm yemen has seen in decades. al jazeera's instead of gotter has more details on what the region can expect. let's have an update on our storm, chapala. if we look at the satellite, it's gradually creeping toward the coast of yemen. as it does so, it is weaken ing. that's thanks to three reasons. firstly, strong winds high up in the atmosphere. that's disrupting it a little bit. we have dry air that's being pulled into the system. and thirdly, it's it also creating friction with the land now as its working northward so it is weakening.

>> that's to say the winds are weakening. we have an awful lot of rain to come from this system. this is why that's a problem. for this region, we are more likely to see rains of around 69 millimeters in an entire year. but this system just in the matter of 24 hours is more likely to give us around 500 millimeters of wet weather. this area is not used to seeing sigh colons and it isn't prepared. as well as seeing this much rain, it will give us flooding and landslide. we are expecting a significant storm surge as well. >> as you probably already know, yemen is in the grip of a humanitarian crisis. it's one of four countries rated at the highest emergency level because of the war. 1.3 million people have been displaced by the violence. the u.n. says almost 1.3 million children are malnumber issues. more than half of them facing severe malnutrition. 21 million, which is more than 80% of the population need

immediate help. a spokeswoman for the international committee of red cross in sanaa. she told me what preparations they have been able to make ahead of the storm. >> we have stocked our warehouses with tents, with food, with drinkable water. we are ready to respond should the cyclone kit hard. it did sweep over the island yesterday but the damages were not as big as initially foreseen. so we are bracing for a low-impact. now, also, for the rest of the country. >> when the cyclone hits, is it rainfall that's most worrying given that the wind tends to dissipate when it comes ashore? is that what's really concerning for people? >> it's heavy rains. it's gushing winds strong storms, high waves as well in the coastal areas. there are a lot of people who are living on the coastal line and the government is concerned.

these have had to evacuate their homes they fear their homes will not be standing as the cyclone washes over. it remains premature to peck slate or is it mainly a large effort by. also, hosting those people or the families affected in alternative housing. if you take, for example, the island of succatra, you have around 2 scented families who are had to leave their homes because their homes were partially or fully destroyed. these are in an island.

similar measures are in place. local authorities might need the support of other agencies including international and local relief agencies. >> rhema, i want to talk to you for a moment about the impact that the war has had on average, you have 30 people killed in this country alone every day. if you compare that, you have two people who were reportedly killed yesterday. so, i think we also need to focus on the bigger picture. people are dying in yemen every day. people are suffering. shortages of supplies, medical supplies are essential to save lives an not getting into areas under siege. people are deprived. the basic necessities most of us take for granted like food and drinking water, the situation is not sustainable and organizations like us, we can't keep patching up a situation that continues to get worse

>> this is how the rebels plan to fight back against syrian military air raids. they have decided to put their prisoners in cages and scatter them in residential areas as a way to pressure the government to stop targeting duma. they paraded them in the streets to tell the world that these men and women will be used as human shields. the prisoners are believed to be officers and their families from the allowhite sect. most people decided to place those prisoners from the allowhite sect and high-ranking regime officers in cages in towns in eastern guta so they can taste our misery and be targeted by russian airstrikes as our children and our women are. >> duma is regularly targeted by airstrikes. individual's attaching was one of the worst yet. the medical hairty, doctors without borders says 70 people were killed and 550 others in

what it describes as extremely violent bombing. the target was a marketplace. it wasn't the first time civilians in residential areas were targeted. in august, more than 100 people were killed in duma. the opposition's largest stronghold in the damascus countryside, which is under siege. and a few days ago, a makeshift clinic was also hit. >> two bombs hit the makeshift clinic. it was a direct hit and the patients astaff were killed and injured. the clinic is 5 kilometers from the front line. we can no longer operate and we used to see about 5,000 patients a month. u.n. special envoy visited damascus following the talks in vienna where world powers and regional rivals discussed syria. they called for a nationwide truce and the renewal of peace talks. at the same time, there are efforts by some members of the

u.n. security council to enforce a resolution to stop bombs by syrian government forces. britain's ambassador to the u.n. said, it is important for what he called the indisriminate bombing to stop because it kills and terrorizes. it's also one of the causes for the flood of refugees from syria. russia has made clear it will oppose any resolution because it believes it will jeopardize the efforts that have so far failed to end the war. zeina hodr, beirut. >> syrian activists say government helicopters have dropped barely bombs on civilians on the western outskirts of damascus. the attack reportedly happened in zeriah. al jazeera isn't able to independently verify this video. the u.n. says more than 218,000 asigh lim seekers arrived by sea last month, the total number who arrived in the whole of last

dying. i cannot imagine that you -- that you can live with yourself when you -- arrest this is your responsibility. >> the refugees, while extremely grateful for the help know life won't get much easier any time soon. but for many, choosing to see in stay in their home land may have been a defendant riskier option. >> if the choice is between dying in the sea or dying in iraq, i take the sea. >> mohammed tells me, his wife and four children had no other choice. in iraq, it's the children who were sacrificed, he says. ministers don't die. officers don't die. presidents don't die. it's the children and the families who die. here, the kids are a priority. trying to make their fear recede even if just for a few minutes. over 200,000 refugees arrived in europe by sea in october, alone. that's roughly the same amount

as arrived in all of 2014. aid workers here believe that huge increase in numbers is because refugees are trying to make this journey before their window of opportunity closes for good. many weorry the winter will kee them from crossing while many others fear europe will soon prevent them from entering. while camps have been built, even the united nations refugee agency says much more still needs to be done. >> we issued a call to the european union to frontex, to both sides of the strait get more ships out there and save more people because this is going to get out of control. >> on the beach, emotions continue to ebb and flow. there is generosity all around, but hardly any of it is state-sponsored. it's volunteers driving these efforts. as frustrated as they are resolute, they look for any way possible to help. mohammed jamjoon, al jazeera,

more from al jazeera's tom ackerman live for us in washington, d.c. tom, what's going to happen? >> well, first of all, it might be noted that the environmental protection agency here says this is an ongoing investigation. it is continuing, and it may expand to other car makers as well. but it's as far as volkswagon is concerned, it's three brands, tuarig, the audi and the porsche, luxury brands have been brought into the investigation and the government has issued notices of violation in at least 10,000 cases in which they allege that volkswagon also equipped these cars with fraudulent devices which they call them defeat devices which basically spoof the emissions testers into thinking they are meeting the permissible lemz of emission. in this case, of nitrogen oxide

which is a smog producer and, in fact, the actual levels were 9, 10, maybe even more times that level. so, what the government is saying is that while we have not heard yet from volks wagon in this case, they have already admitted to having been complicit in this kind of cheating, and we are already hearing from congressmen saying will the deceit ever end? >> the headline in their release just today. and they say that they will -- they intend to get to the bottom of this. so there seems to be no ends to this, just the beginning, in fact, of this scandal emerging in voc wagon's case. >> tom, what's this likely to lead to volks wannog's already difficult financial position do you think? >> briefly, this year, it had topped toyota as the world's top-selling brand. >>, they have dipped now with the last quarterly earnings report, which showed that, in

those who are carrying out these events. sometimes, the governments, themselves, are behind or instig gating this acts against journalists and in other cases, the governments have no interest in investigating them because they are supported by organized crime or by groups that maybe the government doesn't want to investigate. in all of these cases, nobody is protecting the journal accidents. nobody is standing up for the journalists. no parliamentarians are demanding that the journalist's deaths be investigated. so governments get armed with murder literally in these cases because they are not investigating them i would put a big question mark by the government's intent. they are directly or indirectly responsible for these text. whenever the governments act in impunity those who are colling journalists we have seen in the years past. not being investigated. they know they can get away with murder. we have to put a stop to the
