4:04 pm
elections on sunday and the vote will bring constitutional changes into effect that will transform the political system into an executive president the president. biggest challenge comes from the inch a his running for the main opposition republican people's party will be going live to istanbul just shortly but first here's bernard smith taking us through the main candidates and explaining why this election is so significant for the first time in turkey parliamentary and presidential elections are being held at the same time whoever wins the presidency will enjoy significantly enhanced powers passed by a constitutional referendum last year there are six candidates leading for our current president reggie type two on the leader of the ruling conservative party and also from another conservative party is mel action are the from the left leaning republican people's party the c.h.p. the main opposition is a latin demo tash is complaining from jail he's from the pro kurdish h.d.
4:05 pm
people now if no one candidate gets more than fifty percent of the vote in this first round and two weeks later there's a runoff between the top two candidates but would probably mean ergo on an inch a going head to head for the parliamentary elections to alliances have been formed the ruling ak party has joined with two nationalist parties but in an attempt to stop that party keeping its parliamentary majority a number of left and right wing parties have joined together and called themselves the national alliance. joins us now live from istanbul says that we've seen two big rallies today in istanbul. and the leading challenger his leading challenger would have we've been hearing from the president. yes he. had his grand valley in istanbul last week and this was a main oppositions ground rally in istanbul is the final touch as
4:06 pm
a stumble has more than fifteen million population and actually the stumble of voters are in a way the determinant of the elections and today we heard that president dawn talked about his party's previous achievements the development. efforts and joint projects that have been completed during the sixteen year old is sixty year year term on the other hand he promised more employment opportunities for the unemployed mainly the youth through those new joint projects that are waiting for finance to be completed and all the other hand we have been hearing the main challenger mr meyer ram into challenging our don first through criticizing the presidential system itself and also calling for more freedom more democratic movements and in every chance you have been trying to push president are drawn into
4:07 pm
a corner i must admit that it will know this was a short notice election this two month period for a campaign has been a very lively and very interesting for turkey's citizens it certainly has it's going to be a landmark elections that potential for huge changes in the country. yes of course because it is both the parliamentarian election and also presidential election for the first time turks are going to vote for both the parliament members and the president at the very same time actually this has been highly criticized when a snap election was announced two months ago because in a way it is a little bit complicated for the voters and if the president who has the strong hand in public support for now wins the election he will have another victory and he will transform tertius parliamentarian system so
4:08 pm
a presidential one but he has one problem laura because if our dance party the ruling party loses the majority in the parliament which the polls suggest so for now then the presidential system will not be as present our don has dreamt of because when prisons are gone and his team proposed this presidential system they were hoping to have the majority in the parliament as well which will make things easier. for the presidency but now many critics say that even the fired on the wins in the first round or the second round as long as all quieted doesn't have the majority and it's a more liberal as a parliament it can be a sign for a more democratic system in turkey. many thanks for joining us with the latest on the day before the election in turkey. thousands of civilians have fled areas in
4:09 pm
syria's they're all province where a major government offensive is underway the rebels say they've repelled the attack but fear they may not be able to hold out as the iran and russia backed army moves in. reports. this is the first time government forces have used battle. you know a year. helicopters struck several villages in what appears to be a major advance to take over the city but this violates a truce that was brokered by russia and the united states in africa to bring an eye and to the seven year war the americans have of serious repercussions if the offensive continues and the rebels who are losing ground remain defiant. we don't recognize assad's authority he has destroyed our cities and killed our
4:10 pm
people he destroyed syria to stay in power we will never recognize him and we reject the presence of the reigning and afghan militias it's only syrians who should decide the future of the country. the syrian army is massing troops in the area the opposition says thousands of shiite militias are also moving in dar was the focal point of the syrian uprising in two thousand and eleven but in recent years the rebels have been retreating they now control one neighborhood in the city and a few areas on the border with jordan this is a show of force by the free syrian army. for years the f.s.a. was trained and armed by the u.s. europe and gulf countries but that support has diminished over the last. anti as forces are largely outgunned and outnumbered. the tao offensive poses
4:11 pm
challenges for all the parties the rebels cannot afford another setback after being evicted from a just all calls including homes and on the ask of damascus but if the syrian army's push continues the u.s. may interfere and that may trigger a wider. the fate of children separated from their parents at the u.s. border remains unclear two days after president donald trump ordered officials to stop splitting up asylum seekers and families his rhetoric remains combative though he's accusing critics and political rivals of spending what he calls phony tales of suffering for electoral gain elevation reports from washington. for one mother the pain of separation over seven year old darwin was taken from beata may
4:12 pm
hear me here at the border in arizona. we come from guatemala no after more than a month she could finally hold them again she sued the government for some time and one day when i started crying when i saw him because he's the only child i have i think god because i have him here with me he's now sad but nobody's going to separate us again. but though donald trump signed an executive order halting the separation of children from the families thousands still face the pain of separation and no one knows when they will be reunited the executive order president trump does not solve the problem we still face the reality of at least twenty three hundred of these young children who have been separated and there is nothing said nothing about what we're going to do to reunite them or to take care of them during this period of time bowl champ started the day with a series of tweets arjen republicans to ditch plans to pass new immigration
4:13 pm
legislation saying republicans should stop wasting their time on immigration until after we elect more senators and congress men women in november this just days after he demanded congress sort the problem out. then reports that so-called angel families people who had relatives killed by undocumented migrants these are the american citizens permanently separated from their loved ones highlighting he's not backing away from his hard line immigration stance one central square one safety in our country we want strong borders we want people to come in but we want them to come in the proper way. on friday protesters surrounded the home of homeland security secretary christian nielsen and put a full volume recording of children after they've been separated from the parents at the border it's been a difficult week for donald trump but with no deal on immigration in sight a new clarity of what no needs to happen on the border next week isn't looking good
4:14 pm
either alan fischer al-jazeera washington. sunday joins us live now from brownsville and texas think i was the latest we're hearing on these efforts to reunite all these children with their families. well it's becoming imminently clear here on the ground in southern texas that it might have been easy for the u.s. government to separate children from their families at least easy from a logistics standpoint but they reunite ing them is much more difficult and it's eminently clear that this was not a policy that was very well thought out because more than going on three days after the executive order by president donald trump to have these families reunited there appears to be no plan in place here on the ground there are still more than twenty three hundred children that we know of that are separated from their parents that are have criminal process is going against them the parents that is and while there
4:15 pm
was a government official that did say in background that they thought that maybe five hundred of these children had been reunited with their parents who gave no indication of who these children are gave any evidence that they really were reunited these five hundred so it's really hard to verify that in any sort of way they can tell you that there's a very well respected immigrants rights group called the ground here in texas the texas civil rights project they are in contact with about three hundred eighty mothers and fathers that are currently being detained in asylum seekers parents that have been detained that are separated from their parents they've been in contact with them through the court system and they're saying that none of those parents have been reunited with their children at all so as far as we can tell here on the ground there is no sort of plan in place and there have not been any significant reunifications of children with their parents and what about new
4:16 pm
families who continue to illegally cross the border into the united states and they now being allowed to stay together. yes as far as we know yes but how that is actually being implemented as well is unclear i know i'm saying. that there's a lot of confusion down here but even the government agencies that are responsible with this are having a hard time figuring out how to deal with this shifting u.s. policies zero tolerance separate families and then a little bit later they're saying ok it's still zero tolerance but keep the families together the big problem is there's so many government agencies that have their hand in this there's a border patrol who are on the front lines they're usually the first organization or group that government agency that actually. asylum seekers that have crossed into the border you have department of homeland security department of health and human services that run shelters such as this one for children that are two years.
4:17 pm
old and younger and now you also have. the defense department because they're talking about opening up the shelters on military bases all these government agencies dealing with this and they're just having a hard time getting one strategy in place but as of now and this could change but has of now the policy dictated from president that executive order to no longer separate families that have crossed into the border but the policy still is in place that they will be arrested and will be criminally prosecuted so in theory the children will be going to detention centers with their parents now again that still doesn't answer the overriding question what to do with the more than twenty three hundred kids that have already been separated from their children. situation and thanks for the update from brownsville texas. well there's plenty more still has had on the. mass protests calling for
4:18 pm
a state in the. land. and international criminal court. to respond. forcibly deported. any face at. do or die match at the world cup in russia it will have all the latest in school. spanish authorities say they've rescued five hundred sixty nine refugees who were trying to cross the mediterranean by boat into spain elsewhere in europe a container ship rescued one hundred thirteen refugees from a boat off southern italy and that vessel from shipping giant away to instructions from italian authorities a spokesperson for the company says they're in relatively good health becomes six days after six hundred thirty migrants arrived in the spanish port of palencia
4:19 pm
sleeze new government had refused to let them enter the country spain's prime minister petro sanchez is on his first official visit to france for talks with president a manual mccrum a political crisis around refugee and migrant arrivals to europe is high on the agenda the meeting in paris on sunday macron sanchez will join the leaders of more than half of the e.u. member countries in brussels for emergency talks about the migration standoff. now to natasha in paris and sasha this is the first time that these two leaders have met and of course as we can see the migrant crisis is ever present and topping their agenda. yes and as you mentioned there are a danish container ship picking up more than one hundred migrants off the italian coast waiting to see whether or not they'll be able to bring them to the shores of italy really highlights how this migration crisis continues to grip europe and we have today the new spanish socialist prime minister pedro sanchez meeting the
4:20 pm
french president about all mark or for the very first time in paris and it comes not only days after sanches in fact a welcomed refugees from the aquarius charity ship that was blocked from entering its lee nearly two weeks ago to spanish sure so really all of these events of shown how european union is really in the middle not only of a migration crisis but it simply does not have a coordinated strategy in order to deal with migration i want my call and scientists will be doing is talking a head of the summit on sunday in brussels as many migration summit they'll both be attending and they'll be trying to come up with new ideas and plans and strategies before that summit to before the main summit later in the week in brussels also there is no doubt that these are two physically pro european union leaders they are young they are dynamic and they will certainly want to try and come up with ideas that will keep the european union together and not to further fuel those rifts and
4:21 pm
divisions over migration that we have seen because they do don't want of course anything to threaten the future of the bloc over there is such a divisive issue is that when we see the deep rift emerge already any indication that there is a plan to address migration. well i think the fact that we're seeing this mini migration summit on sunday certainly underlines the sense of urgency here in the european union but in terms of plans and solutions i mean that really is the big question what we do know is the one idea they're going to be talking about or so-called regional platforms now these would be bases outside the european union the migrants and refugees would be taken to a once rescued perhaps from the mediterranean sea or before even making that really dangerous crossing they would then be a process those eligible for asylum might be redistributed within the european union and idea whether or not of course all the member states would agree to it is
4:22 pm
another matter because there will also be divisions against this we learned for example ready that many leaders from european countries are saying that they're not going to attend this mini summit or brussels because they don't want to accept any more migrants any more asylum seekers we also have italy say that if italy is not the priority at this meeting at these talks well let's see what happens because perhaps they are less interested and we heard also from a german government spokesperson a few days ago saying don't expect any big solutions to come out of this meeting in brussels this week so really we're not starting on a very positive foot but that's why it might be hoping they can come up with some ideas that might in some way unite european leaders and bring installations lines from paris to thank you. protestors have been gathering in central london for a large rally exactly two years after the brics that referendum demonstration has
4:23 pm
been organized by groups campaigning for the u.k. to stay in the european union at the very least they want voters to have the final say on britain's departure deal barkha is live in london for us to. leave. the u.k. in half an hour in huge numbers of people very anti and they remain so two years down the line. that's why the results of you remember were forty eight games fifty two four because two years on the nation is still as divided as ever breaks it but here in central london city the voted overwhelmingly in favor of remaining within the people of very much. we've lost me that a connection to a question wasn't particularly good he was earlier there speaking to one of the organizers of the demonstration that days lessons what he had to say. since the
