this is al jazeera. it's a home run when you're watching the al-jazeera news our life from our headquarters here in doha coming up in the next sixty minutes. turkey's president declares victory in an election that will give him even greater power. also the fight for yemen strategically important port gets closer to the city center that's who the forces fired rockets at the saudi capital and. the migrants stuck on a boat with nowhere to go as european leaders try to figure out what to do with

them also. included on the song that little football's a world cup helped by hat trick hero harry cain. we start the news hour with turkey's president who's declared victory in landmark elections but the opposition have not yet conceded defeat official results won't be unveiled until next week but reza diapered one insists he has a public mandate for him and his ruling party with nearly all of the votes counted the one that leads the pack with more than fifty two percent of the vote and his main challenger is one hundred m. in change from the c.h.p. party who drew millions to his rallies and he has thirty percent of the folk. the imprisoned leader of the pro kurdish h.-d. piece a latina meat dress has eight percent of the ballot it's also the first time that

turks are choosing their president and parliament at once so far once a k party appears to be leading with forty three percent of the c.h.p. is second with twenty three percent of the d.p. has more than eleven percent of the votes making it a potential kingmaker well in his victory speech present one warned against discrediting the result sichem didn't you know. 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 can't digest their defeat there has 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 last and democracy to other countries so let's go straight over to our correspondent who's in turkey's capital ankara following events for us there and of

course with the official results what to be announced next week it does really seem that turkey is on course for another urged one presidency but he's not having it is no way in terms of certainly the parliamentary seats. well yes obviously it's important to remind our viewers here is the hill that this wasn't just some of the action for the presidency but also for the parliament as well because turkey's constitution the new one that would post it on it's not referendum a few months back stipulation if you didn't come out of interim president elect and had to take a similar ten years you now coming into this election your cards you have in the region had what is not really the control over to jerry's economy was it five hundred seats are not meant now that this new parliament has been told you did it's a six hundred one of the four not one hundred seats and i was great to diversity of representation and what it meant is that the x. marks you have lost the majority they won't fill time to play that down

a bit because they still have a simple majority but the truth is that they would have much rather maintain not to the majority because many most of the party were saying that they might be on the leadership still want to leave for procedure you just didn't know that they would require you to control to. a liberal debug and it didn't of course we are expecting president one to appear away you all in a short while but really i suppose the opposition parties can take heart from the result to a certain extent because they will perhaps want to see how the new constitution how the new will fall routines to take control of power and procedure in this next presidential term to bend make another run full potential power in the future. of course i mean that's the interesting thing here was that i actually wrote

a paper out about bet everything on these elections and on this new system because prior to this you had power sharing between parliaments and between the presidency so if one party won one but lost the other. they would still have some sort of influence in the way the the country is being run up most of the power and all of it because those the apartment but most of the power sensitive on the presidency which means that in the future there is a greater stake being placed in this one election now as far as the opposition parties are concerned what seems to be the problem and this is a constant issue for them over the past twelve years is that they have been building there are election campaigns essentially on nerd runs or whatever he does they try to criticise whatever he doesn't do they try and shed a spotlight on and what a lot of the voters have been saying is that they're looking for an alternative so when it comes down to it even if the check is going to be full term even if there

is a few attacks here or the security situation is unstable they look to the opposition for an alternative rather than seeing an alternative political platform they just see and i know you heard a wind narrative that is being pushed and that's part of what is probably be one of his strongest i said going into these elections they meet the weakness of the opposition not so much maybe his current popularity having said that all the predictions were the or most of the for the actions rather whether there was a strong chance that this would lead to a second round of the two and would have lost that fifty percent business and if he did it would be barely three point something well the results so far coming together should putting him out up to the super seven and that is something maybe that will really figure age his mandate indeed a bit earlier he did actually make some sort of conciliatory gestures to the opposition i mean how is he going to deal with opposition parties opposition politicians when you might say in the last eighteen months anybody that opposes him

vocally is seen as national security risk number one. indeed i mean obviously turkey is still very. divided country some of that division is not for which we have been any democracy for you have in the rest between the division between the republicans and democrats when you pay between labor and conservative and so forth but other division is a lot more dangerous and that is the division that came about from the july fifteenth failed coup attempt a couple of years ago when turkey really hasn't completely healed from that because there is still suspicion being crossed over people german who show a position the government is still yet to be cleared terms of how it deals with that there is criticism that has been leveled against i don't want to gainsay could be a good signal to pull just that they are using the emergency the state of emergency using the anger and sentiment that has been expressed amongst the large amount of purchases like against those who were behind the coup attempt to try and use that

to get rid of a neat digital image of a position for criticism maybe through this election and possibly because of that message that we are a part of wind of fixing the he will not allow for any person to be discriminated against because of but it's going to the nation are just there or at this it's deep in terms of ethnic makeup of his talk you know this he. has different i think backgrounds and it may be through those messages that this is a sign from him to say talk is you know we had heard signs from some of the leadership within the hour on six held that they were hoping that they said to promotions he would not be extended post these elections so this preferred will be not only a new era in terms of the political system in turkey but also if you are in some of the makeup and social fabric that makes up turkey today or see what todd said he does happen in the coming hours we will probably come back to where you are when the president appears and makes his speech within the after the moment thanks very

much to both. but the main opposition her republican people's party of the c.h.p. as it's known has so far refused to concede defeat was and the new agency to share . several actual race with the public by saying approximately ninety free point five percent of those have been counted according to those results some have started to beat the drums to say no one should be building castles in the sky we have already said this during the previous press conference the presidential elections will go to the second round. we're going to chase these votes step by step the data given by the polling station offices is preliminary no one can declare himself as president with fifty one point seven percent votes in a country where there are hundred ten thousand uncounted ballot boxes or ballots beth has more from the c.h.p. headquarters in anchorage. there's frustration and disappointment here the republican people's party hack or to the g.h. b.

they hope that their candidate more i mean jay would at least have forced a second round runoff vote to do that they needed to deprive stop present one getting more than fifty percent plus warm vote it appears that one has done that in j. has not really got over about thirty percent of the vote so a lot of disappointment here though the opposition will say that they never started off this election with a level playing field much of the television news air time was devoted to the act party and president and they got about sixty seven hours of coverage last month compared to seven hours of coverage for example for the republican people's party those so they say they were facing an uphill battle all the way they might take some consolation from the suggestion that the out party has been to deprive its overall majority in parliament it will have to work with this far right and h.p. party to help pass legislation through parliament and those in favor of the act

party and also the kurdish h.e.p.a. is represented in parliament so that may may suggest that is a very representative selection of turkish society in parliament but above all yes frustration and disappointment here the c.h.p. that we're not going to see a second round runoff here for the presidency of turkey. well let's bring in our guest here mr killick in istanbul he's a research director of such a foundation in washington d.c. mr erdogan of course is perhaps on course for victory though the official results have not yet been released i mean what do we make now what can we think about what will happen in terms of a new era with executive powers. well there are certain things first of all one already stated in the campaign that he prepared the

transition process for de executive presidency so we will see a rapid transform asian to the presidency and it will be complicated it will have a lot of bureaucratic hassles it include changing the current state of government actually in the prime minister's office which has been the most powerful office in four long years will be abolished and it will be the president's office there will be changes in the parliament so it will be aired transition process that will require hard work of course so you talk about the prime minister's office being one of the strongest obviously offices in the country without going to change and structural processes to sort out universities and ministries or even elect a new vice president's the president has a lot on his plate and in a very short time span what is his honeymoon period considering he recently went to london to attract investors to the country with

a falling lira and he really needs to invigorate the economy based on his decisions politically. well established even provide probably the one of the most significant thing invest in for the investors in the coming period would be destabilised d. so what happened is in the period since the. april two thousand and seventeen referendum the had quite a lot of complexity about the transfer transition process by fast tracking this transition process it will also create the investor confidence for investors around the world then it will provide the stability for the country and for the government as well of course the challenging period will start probably march two thousand and nineteen the local elections will take place in nine months which is very significant because. our party and our dan considered the mayoral elections as the

most sacred one of the most significant part of their agenda and especially the mayorship of it stumble ancora and izmir the cities will be important so starting from probably january or in late january we will start to see in each campaign for the local elections if we just assess the election results as they are them over time which is a warning is it to be a party that they don't have the super majority and that even one presidency victory as it is at the moment only really tipped the fifty percent mark. well it was one of the things that the polls predicate even the polls public opinion polls predicted around fifty one percent but he got more than that fifty two point five percent it will be a challenge for our party for the losing the majority it was a kind of a hard process for them however in the coming period our part to go on said in his first speech that he will form a different quality sions in depending on the subject matter so the basic be in the

parliament as one will never get and cooperate with different political parties or different m.p.'s in regards to the bills that he will see the evil think that it is very necessary and in regards to the election probably we have to say that the veneer is of course on our party in this and on one another electoral victory but the surprise of the election was the nationalist image p. party which none of the polls so far predicted that the party will do so well in their lections by twelve percent the party almost twelve percent party proved that it is resilient to a splinter party split their party any kind of you know like the public opinion polls and any criticism the party still got twelve percent of the world that that is the big biggest surprise of today actually in d.c. thank you for your analysis a call so we'll come back to you i'm sure at a future date where you will get more of what we think of president one of those positions and progress killing. in istanbul thank you sir. and of course you can

responsible for all topics it cannot be the case that some on a deal with primary migration and others only with secondary migration everybody is just sponsible for everything wherever possible we want european solutions which is not possible we want to bring those who are willing to gather and find a common framework for action the issue has been brought into sharp focus by scenes like these filmed aboard the vessel m.v. lifeline in the mediterranean two hundred twenty six people rescued from the sea but stuck on the ship as different countries refused to accept them as it were a metaphor for the entire migrant crisis it is extremely difficult and i would say it's even harder now than it might have been two or three years ago because in the interim we've seen a number of government changes including a number of hardline governments a couple vocal but also we've seen a polarizing of positions between countries based on their experience of migration italy has proposed a ten point plan to try to drive the discussion forward suggesting different

countries accept reception centers as part of a commitment to abandon the previous dublin regulation whereby refugees must claim asylum in their arrival country as he left brussels on sunday prime minister giuseppe conti tweeted his happiness at the way the talks had progressed when this meeting was first called it was with the hope that sixteen member states might be able to iron out some of the problems and then present solutions to the twenty eight member state meeting that takes place on thursday and friday. this week the question is will there be any kind of compromise acceptable to the full e.u. summit dominic cain al-jazeera brussels well you heard the daleks report about a charity boat stalled in the mediterranean sea with both italy and wolter refusing to let it dock now the italian government has told aid groups to leave rescues to the libyan coast guard but the lifeline ship's captain has accused european leaders

of putting political politics sorry ahead of people's lives. this is. the group of us that there are two hundred thirty four people on board of the libyan coast fortunately we don't have any pressing medical condition so the situation is stable right now the four babies and mothers are also relatively well it appears world politics is being carried out on the back of these refugees rescuing people in danger at sea is not a crime but an obligation gated by law and returning them to libya is against it you need a refugee convention a group of jewish and muslim leaders have staged a joint protest in the german city of against rising islamophobia and anti semitism the protesters road turned to bicycles through the city many wearing white vest that said jews and muslims for respect and tolerance dozens of people joined the interfaith bikers as they taught the city's downtown. protestors in the u.s.

a very long process no matter what the circumstances this is as close as i could get to the detention facility on this road behind me is a guard booth and when i went there security said that journalists were not allowed inside and asked me to leave we did make a formal request with the department of homeland security to tour the facility but so far that request has been denied however human rights lawyers who have been inside say the facility is full of parents that are currently separated from their children and all those parents are asking the same questions the question is always what's going to happen to my child if i get deported will my child be deported with me am i going to be reunited with my child do you know where my child is if that series of questions and unfortunately i don't have the answer to that for parents wanting to see their kids again hopes now rest on whatever happens behind this spence far from public view gabriel's on dough. for his most tex's

middle east now where syrian government forces have moved further into the southern province of daraa under the cover of strikes is the first time moscow has provided our support for the syrian government's offensive to retake the area bordering jordan. government helicopters continue to drop barrel bombs on the rebels last stronghold in southwest syria. the free syrian army or f.s.a. is deploying more fighters to repel the attacks but most units in the face a shortage of weapons and ammunition thousands of civilians have fled their homes circling in makeshift camps in desert areas. anger is mounting on the border with jordan where thousands of internally displaced people

are stranded. where stitching tends to help the growing number of refugees were arrived daily and whether it can help us you are most welcome. we spent days seeking shelter under a tree and no one came to our help when we came here and as you can see the terrain is rough and inhospitable we call upon the international community to help us. syrian army's offensive started last wednesday president bashar al assad is vowing to crush the opposition unless rebels surround the military campaign could turn into a full blown confrontation the u.s. which along with russia brokered a truce in southern syria last year has warned of retaliation if the syrian army doesn't pull out. well staying in the region the u.s.

president's top advisor on the middle east is expected to present a new peace plan for israel and palestine with or without palestinian leadership he says jerad made the comments to the palestinian newspaper could cheering his middle east tall question as quoted saying he doubts palestinian president mahmoud abbas is capable of making a deal but added that he's still willing to work with him the palestinian leader cut communications with the u.s. after it recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel but while the details of the so-called deal of the century haven't officially been released here's what emerged from the leaks the palestinians would initially control gas and less than half of the occupied west bank and a palestinian capital would be created from villages surrounding jerusalem the israelis would retain security over the jordan valley and have total control over palestinian travel between the west bank and garza while a corridor will be created between palestinian territory and jerusalem's holy sites

it appears palestinians would have to surrender the principle of the right to return of palestinian refugees expelled during the creation of israel and the future of illegal israeli settlements on the final border between palestine and israel would be decided at a later date very false it has more from west jerusalem. well there's very little here that gives precise indications as to what might be in the black and white of the trim deal but what there is in this interview given by gerrard cushion are indications as to the general direction of travel of the united states administration and the way that it intends to approach this two things really stand out he's putting a lot of store by economic incentive saying that palestinians may well care less about the talking points of their leaders than the prospects of better paying jobs for future generations of their people the other thing that stands out and is evidenced in that is the way that he is trying really to bypass the leadership of

mahmoud abbas the palestinian president appealing directly through this interview which is being read by palestinians to the palestinian people themselves saying that perhaps the promising leadership is scared that palestinians might actually like what was in this deal and saying that mahmoud abbas perhaps doesn't have the ability to take the lead take the leap rather towards a compromise but there are also things which are really obvious by that absence in this interview no mention of settlements of occupation of the very controversial decision by donald trump to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital and indeed to move the u.s. embassy there so the fact that that hasn't been addressed for many palestinians these aren't just mere talking points of the leadership these are very much core principles and as far as leadership is concerned it has reacted with pretty restrained fury to all this the palestinian president's spokesman saying the united states is trying to create false history has been falsified in facts the p.l.o.

second general side erica has accused them of trying to separate gaza and the palestinian authority even further and indeed undermine the palestinian authority leadership in the west bank so no prospect at this stage that the palestinian leadership has and wants anything to do with the united states administration or its plan even ahead of its publication. so about a cat is a senior palestinian negotiator he says the u.s. is trying to force a solution on the palestinians mr bush merely. interviewed today you know what seems very. very very far and you know. mr sharon risen from has actually moved from this because he assures the squares of the dish. they are beginning to get us through. the longer we're going to negotiate them and number one by one as in jerusalem as israel's capital and by

membership now the mission they have is to illuminate and there are many united nations relief and works agency no one but i believe that it can be with the host country in order to also take very tricky question of given a number three or four even more than you know of any lieberman in their vision that there should have already security responsibility and the jury is very astute water and. as it is the ball boys vice president says nothing will stop the upcoming election police investigate a great attack at a campaign rally on saturday constantino chiwenga was one of the forty nine people injured in the explosion which targeted president and a symbolic god security is not being stepped up ahead of next month's vote how tasa has more from. near the capital harare. in his

snakebite in a region of more than protein million nigerians doctors and nurses here are struggling to cope with the rising number of patients. doctors say many cases arrive year late sometimes too late and patients die or end up with permanent disability it took our people how many nearly five days to get help. and leave now i love i never gone through unbelievable suffering to get here it's just that i didn't day at some points at least to date copied vipers are responsible for eighty percent of the cases in this hospital. i do so frantic going to cost one hundred fifty dollars but there are some dubious antivenom is being offered on the market and that can help of course death rather than prevent it. so many people out there in the bush or india or areas where there's not access road or and then i'll go
