victory over world cup debutantes panama captain harry came scores a hat trick in their six one win to secure a spot to the knockout stages and russia. president has declared victory in an election that will transform the way the country is run measured type appears to be on course to tighten his grip on power after the referendum he narrowly won last year which gives the presidency sweeping new powers nearly all of the ballots have now been counted and i do one has received roughly fifty two percent of the vote. sichem didn't you know that the elections were peaceful and have been held in a mature way this is a win win situation for everyone i would like to thank all the candidates for all their work and i would like to congratulate them no one should criticize or cast

died in the election system just because they count digest their defeat there's been a record voter turnout and this is a very important message to the world the message is very clear there has been a voter turnout of almost ninety percent and we've given a lesson in democracy to other countries as well in a moment we'll go live to but it's myth is that the opposition had courses in the takesh capital fuzz that did you militia is it act party is based in ankara and president i do want to kind of victory in a low which was viewed very much as a referendum on his rule what was the tone of his speech. was very considered free in fact obviously such a broad tree in the sense that he was joyful that he was victorious as far as he's concerned these elections but he did reach out and he said that he will not allow for anybody regardless of their that it's according to the nations or their gender

or their i think a background to be discriminated against under his rule one does this new charge here as he described it he said that at the heart of one of the other sound bites this was a win win situation for everybody that this was an opportunity for talks to rejoice and rejoice they have been at least his supporters coming out in force to welcome him here because it's very important to note that as polarizing this word that many people like to associate with look at what it takes as totalizing as he's elections may have been you're talking about eighty six eighty eight percent voter turnout something that you don't see in some of the world's oldest most celebrated democracies and something's got the people are very proud of so he's saying that he will be upright. different for everybody and the fact is he probably has to be able to close the site from the presidential elections there were parliamentary elections and in the parliamentary elections you had different political parties

who have managed to represent themselves obviously the standard ones have been there this year g.m.a.t. but i did all the ph for the age here as well as the other parties coming into the poll and that is going to show you are the one that you may have on the presidency there is still at the far a diverse political spectrum in turkey that requires him to ensure that he listens to their concerns as well something that he has promised he will do a soon as he embarks on this second term as president and of course the other crucial aspect of developments in tacking today the parliamentary vote it looks as though i do. well like tang it's majority in parliament but lose that dominant position not the result he was hoping for. i mean yes obviously everybody would love to win everything and the act party definitely would have wished that they could continue this with the super majority because the

rumors are that they still have some other constitutional amendments that they would love to see go through but the reality is they won't be able to do that because they have lost the two thirds majority they still maintain that simple majority particularly when you take into consideration that they are in alliance with the army chief but you have another alliance that was formed with three in the side a party of which is religious because of the c.h.p. it's let us see are you why are your party which is a breakaway from the nationalist. movement was significant in argument up on a maci elections was that the kurdish region did it break through the pressure old of ten percent and that is something very significant because not only does a government see that one of turkey's communities that has arguably been marginalized in recent years are not even. in recent years actually across the during modern turkish times now has not political representation it also means that there is scope for you political minds is to be set up because one of the things

that has allowed her to run and they are hard to be sold moment in the past ten years is the weakness in the opposition it's only been with advantage to come together that something that serious challenges have mounted that even then he has overcome all of them so the political rulers are not turks stories that go into that democracy is very much something that is represented in the parliaments today through the results that hum out as a result of the high voter turnout hi thank you very much with all the latest from i party headquarters and press demolishing out now let's listen this is outside the headquarters of the republican people's party in ankara and so but as we were hearing the president do i might have declared victory but the opposition not conceding defeat what's the latest you're hearing that. well the result isn't official yet so people here so are not happy and all ready to accept the results

until it's officially announced there's a an official there's a tally we're watching from the state news agency on a do loop agency which gives the unofficial result out of the supreme election board and it's had a little percentage count to quote going to the polls closed and his ground all those two hold is now at about ninety eight percent not quite ninety eight percent of all votes counted counted but it's taken a long time in the last hour for it to go around those last couple of percent. one still fifty two and a half percent ahead so there would be have to be significant change in voting patterns for him to fall below that fifty percent plus one that he needs to win the first round of the presidential election without going to a second round but nevertheless the people here would prefer or enough. fishel announcement to be made before the president makes his own victory speech or in fact he gave earlier on when he came up on the television he was booed off people who didn't want to hear him. and burn and we know that today there have been some

complaints from the opposition about the way certain aspects of the vote were conducted or communicated are they likely to challenge the result. well i think we're still waiting for the final the official announcement to be made before though there would be any suggestion that my any votes might be challenged one of the complaints from these opposition parties was as has been the case in elections past that results from areas of the country that voted out party will vote no on their announced first before results from other areas in the c.h.p. the main opposition says that an attempt to sort of demoralize their supporters to is to suggest to people that are watching the ballots being counted fairly to make sure it's done fairly in other areas they leave their posts the c.h.p. has been saying to his supporters don't leave your post stay there watch the ballot counted until the final result comes in what the c.h.p. and all the opposition parties will those say is the whole run up to the election

they started on the playing field the television news channels were dominated by president to honor that party sixty seven hours of exposure last month on television for them compared to seven hours for the opposition party the main c.h.p. by comparison so they say they started off with a very difficult playing field but it was always going to be a challenge to reach to beat burdwan a consummate politician well versed in politics here in turkey of remains the most popular leader and it was always going to be a challenge to the c.h.p. is of course in the second round runoff. thank you very much with all the latest from the opposition party headquarters bonnet smith an anchor at the emerald joins me in the studio is attacking expert at the center historical analysis and conflict research at sandhurst military academy in the u.k. so the president has declared victory based on these unofficial results it looks as though he is almost certain to maintain that his lead above the question fifty

percent threshold an outright victory there is unlikely to be any run off what are your initial thoughts on the nature of the vote so far dust fire we hear not see. in any nationwide reading report that gave us great concern to aid the oficial state news agency has reported to counting has been disturbing because the formal buddy before they finalize it the fact that president stood up to declare victory is also tricky and you can raise a question about it this is ethical but at this stage we need to take the warts at their face value which is president are doing on one with more than fifty two percent of the world's thanks to the alliance with the nationalists m.h.d. this makes it the highest warty ever got since any election that he entered in two thousand and two so therefore he will feel a renewed mandate to pursue everything you wanted to pursue in this new presidential system which is which is a much more centralized power structure diminishing old office of prime minister

direct wice presidents and a cabinet that he elects they don't even have to be a members from the parliament they could be appointed from outside of the parliament as well and everything will be centralized and again the office of presidency is not necessarily a right to run thing is just the mode of government but there's been a lot of criticism over whether there are enough checks and balances over the president from now on even though the pm h.b. will not enjoy a parliamentary majority they don't have enough in the parliament to be able to push through everything that they want to so that gives a breathing space that is very important outcome in this election is that the ak party have not managed to retain a dominant position that they have maintained that simple majority because of the the coalition they have with their partner the mh how does this impact their ability to govern now so certain things prison and i do one will be able to pass on his own as the president with so much power his cabinet will be able to pass laws

and legislation but at the same time they still need the parliament behind them for for example watering on the budget or calling a referendum or pursuing constitutional changes and if you do not have more than four hundred sixty parliamentarians. and you then you would struggle then you would have to enter into negotiations and compromises an agreement with other parties in the parliament to be able to achieve that so they could use their position from no on an opening space to direct and impact some of the direction of the new changes that turkey will see but suspicious to monday morning in turkey will look a lot like the friday morning so perhaps not a great deal of immediate change even mentioning the opposition and n.j. managing to get around thirty percent of the vote which is obviously a long way off fifty percent but nonetheless we are seeing an. opposition with great amende him better organized a more charismatic appealing leader at the helm how might the opposition position

themselves now to really capitalize on that i think all credits go to deal position parties particularly for performing disaffected the i know it's not necessarily their desired ambition which was to arm gain enough votes to go take the presidential elections to a second run in two weeks from now but they hardly had any time to put forward a candidate in this case was in jail and against all the odds with hardly any media coverage for all the state resources behind president campaign who has been campaigning for more than two years for presidency they still achieve thirty percent not what c.h.p. would the next would be interesting would in jeff finally replace klitschko or all of the current incumbent of c.h.p. as party leadership that might be a significant change in politics how would you party if they pass the ten percent threshold would work and the problem is a brand new turkish nation in this party there might very well pose a significant opposition from now on to particularly turkish nationalists what's

a lot of that is still up in the air we need to wait for dr she'll want to come but also it will take a week or two before we can break down all the what pattens and. exact what thing unfolded because that will give a direction in regards to what the waters want and how. domestic politics will unfold next one two years what does this mean for takis relationship with western countries. not much i think usually the markets and the realist leaders in europe would see a stabile it as more important than sudden changes so that there will be no is better than that there will you don't know so to that extent you could argue that some of them would have felt relieved if president i do honors to win again but at the same time it's no more debt i'm going to do by little relations are at a historic breaking point e.u. accession is going nowhere relations between us and turkey at a certain low point as well and a lot of economy questions and particularly because of what the president are doing has been putting out himself so what happens next and that front actually depends upon him will be changes tone will they adopt new policies we know not know mastic challenges likely to be the priority thank you very much the m.r.o.

for your analysis. at the news hour live from london much more still to come. or award is offered for information on saturday's apparent assassination attempt on zimbabwe's president at a rally in the city of pull away or. donald trump sonnen or appeals directly to palestinians as the u.s. prepares to unveil its peace plan for the region. and in sport as a shock to pique defeat for roger federer oh i have the details of that with our. saudi arabia's a defense forces say they've intercepted a ballistic missile over the capital riyadh yemen's who see rebels say they launched rockets targeting the defense ministry in the saudi capital of stepped up missile attacks in retaliation for airstrikes by the saudi led coalition. we're now

something happen on this weekend meeting but nothing happened so we will find a solution now. to disembark the people what precisely did the italian coast guard tell you well. that living coast guard is in charge. i mean the m.r.c. if he said the libyan and more cities in charge correctly. which means that we asked have to ask libya which we did but we didn't get an answer on to know where it's safe next safe port so we are waiting for an answer from libya until tomorrow and if it's not coming the we will find another solution what other solutions or options are you looking for because already the

boat has been prevented from docking in italy and malta this is not the first time this has happened. yeah you must know it's from our point of view you illegally prevent to dock in italy but legally in malta so we are fine with more time as they help us a lot and the grapes. from that site actually it's a small country and they ory. host a lot of refugees so to have the responsibly responsibility of europe at all and so we thought tonight's meeting will bring some thing up and solution for us also but it's not happened and we decided that we are you can see it as you help us all right well thank you very much for speaking to us actual stairs spokesman for the mission lifeline rescue boat which is currently stuck in the mediterranean

a certain extent from anglo-american remember three years ago her whole position was the germany could do it germany could open the borders and and allow in many hundreds of thousands of people so that is a change in tone and then looking at what the other leaders have said as they emerge from this this for the half hour meeting that took place here the italian prime minister saying decidedly happy about the way talks have gone here the president of france a million copies saying that it was obvious that in a european wide solution was what needed to be to be agreed wherever possible but also no sense of final agreement no communique as it were emerging from this meeting no sense that the the ground being laid for some progressive solution which would which might take place at the full summit of twenty eight states that will be held here in brussels on thursday and friday of this week. u.s. president donald trump has sharpened his call to deport people who enter the country illegally saying they should be sent back to where they came from immediately and without a court case. made the comments off to

and works agency. diplomats are assessing the fallout of the u.s. withdrawal from the united nations human rights council the move was widely condemned by activists and even some of america's allies a diplomatic editor james bays reports from the united nations. for eighteen months ambassador nikki haley has made it her mission to make sure it's not business as usual at the u.n. she has repeatedly called for reform as her boss president trump has pulled away from the international consensus on key issues pulling the u.s. out of the paris climate agreement the iran deal the un's cultural agency unesco and cutting all funding for annorah the part of the un that helps palestinians most recently she announced the u.s. was withdrawing from the un human rights council the first country ever to do so she said it was in part because of its bias against israel pulling out of the human rights council for the us was a huge miscalculation and you can see their influence in the council since it was

created in two thousand and six on various different issues by pulling out they don't have that kind of influence anymore so even leading jewish organizations on human rights have commented that how can an the u.s. continue to support israel inside of the council when they're not in it anymore. a year ago haley visited geneva the home of the human rights council urging major reform before the u.s. pulled out of the body last week the u.s. put forward a proposal to its close allies on a way to reform it but they weren't even prepared to discuss the plan the ambassador herself wrote a letter to human rights groups last month our mission circulated a draft human rights council strengthening resolution to a small group of member states for edits to this date we've received not one written edit from a single member state. of the haley has been a key player in the trumpet ministrations policy of disruption on the international

stage but some diplomats believe it may be beginning to backfire on some issues the u.s. may be finding it harder to persuade its allies and bully its adversaries here at the u.n. . i think especially on issues relating to the middle east the u.s. faces a crisis of credibility at the u.n. . and even its closest allies such as the u.k. are distancing themselves from american positions on iran and on israel and that is really making trump look very isolated earlier this month in an effort to block a draft security council resolution on gaza ambassador haley tried to rally support begging fellow ambassadors to support her own rival draft but she was the only member of the security council to vote in favor of it increasingly at the u.n. the policy of america first seems to be resulting in america alone james
